James: the cat next to me in his hotel room is blasting Fox news, it is coming trough the walls and into my skin, even with my head phones on. How did we get here?
Spillane: maybe this is just how things are.
James: when did we become this though, I mean, what is this?
Spillane: an expression
James: an expression of ignorance. The most frustrating part of this is arguing with folks that are too dumb to understand what you are saying, but more importantly, are too dumb to understand that what they are saying already negated themselves.
Spillane: it’s a feeling, probably at the end of the day it was something about having a black president.
James: but it leads to this?
Spillane: I know what you are thinking I haven’t done all this shit to be here. It will get better.
James: I think the same way, this will end, this will sunset, stupidity is stupidity. I just thought people were smarter than this, over the last year I realized… it is the guy in the next room, that thinks he is winning.
Spillane: medium is like that, it expresses itself, this is what people want, they have hate, they were repressed, it will work itself out. I think this is something you don’t know. There is this fear with people, they always have had it, its exploitable.
James: so its been exploited
Spillane: absolutely.
James: wouldn’t these folks feel exploited
Spillane: hell no, when you tell someone you are right, they are all over that.
James: but how does it end, what proof do you need? A video tape of the president pissing on American POWs in Russia while saying, “Americans are so stupid” would that be fake news.
Spillane: how are you doing
James: ok?
Spillane: what do you want at the end of the day?
James: its not that, what I want is human beings to read more books, learn more, be better and stop being lead.
Spillane: so what are you doing about that?
James: nothing
Spillane: don’t you think you should get more kids reading. Don’t you think you should get more adults reading, what are you doing.
