Freedom Fist 3 (5"x7" sketch).

" I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work, or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter, punks are running wild in the street, and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it!... "

"I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"

speech by Howard Beale, in Network (1976 film)
