Every time I plan not to black sheep it and play the game seriously. And then I am just like "gently caress it, this is the real answer" and it ends up being all black sheep.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

And a medicine bag hanging at his side
