The United States

"In a nation ruled by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile— and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. We owe that to ourselves and our crippled self-image as something better than a nation of panicked sheep."

Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939), U.S. journalist. The Great Shark Hunt, "Jacket Copy for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (1979).
