They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's heaven and hell, oh well
And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's heaven and hell, oh no
- Black Sabbath, "Heaven and Hell"

"Do you know what key to retaining power is? Fear? No, although fear has its uses. Wealth? Again no. Wealth is only a means to an end to the real reason. FUN is the key! Keep them entertained, and you can do anything you want, and they will still love you. Those leaders that deny fun, are quickly put up against the wall. The others dangle entertainment like a carrot at the end of the stick, giving just enough to keep the people in check. Me? I say give them what they want!"
"Those who fear you, want you dead. Those with money want to take your place. Those having fun want you to live forever, and will come back to you for more like some rattling junkie!"
- Norman Gates, First Advisor, Collective of Anarchist States
