"The Great Beast is introduced in Book VI of The Republic. It represents the prejudices and passions of the masses. To please the Great Beast you call what it delights in Good, and what it dislikes Evil. In America this is called politics."
Do you really want to be a member of a group expressing its collective prejudices and passions? I hope not. Keep thinking in the shower. Once you are considered normal, it is all over.
Another loony talking jibberish? I thought we were full on the crazy train around here...
