About This Quote
Thanks to TV and for the convenience of TV, you can only be one of two kinds of human beings, either a liberal or a conservative. People who watch TV are trapped between two extremes, liberals and conservatives. Liberals are the people who believe in change for change’s sake. They think that if you changed one thing in the world it would be better than the way it was.
The conservatives are the ones who want to keep things as they are while they can. They’re happy with the way things are which means they’re never willing to change anything.
