Tune In
Turn On
Burn Out

Isn't it;

Tune In
Turn on
Drop out
Timothy Leary (1967)



However considering the source "Burn Out" might be more descriptive. I was in San Fransico, and lived on Treasure Island as a teenager, during "Summer of Love" and what this total burnout stoner did to this movement is unforgivable.

"In a nation ruled by swine, all pigs are upwardly mobile—and the rest of us are ****ed until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. We owe that to ourselves and our crippled self-image as something better than a nation of panicked sheep."
—The Great Shark Hunt, 1979, Hunter S. Thompson

"Y'all got on this boat for different reasons, but y'all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave." - Captain Malcolm Reynolds - "Serenity"

The Sage of Baltimore has many of my favorites, with the one you cited high on the list. To these, I add:

Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

Another favorite from George Bernard Shaw:

Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.
