Future historians, i hope, will consider the american fast food industry a relic of the twentieth century--a set of attitudes, systems, and beliefs that emerged from postwar southern california, that embodied its limitless faith in technology, that quickly spread across the globe, flourished briefly, and then receded, once its true costs became clear and its thinking became obsolete.

More From Eric Schlosser

Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.

The postwar [wwii] gi bill of rights - and the enthusiastic response to it on the part of america's veterans - signaled the shift to the knowledge society. future historians may consider it the most important event of the twentieth century. we are clearly in the midst of this transformation; indeed, if history is any guide, it will not be completed until 2010 or 2020. but already it has changed the political, economic and moral landscape of the world.

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.

Today's uncle tom doesn't wear a handkerchief on his head. this modern, twentieth-century uncle thomas now often wears a top hat. he's usually well-dressed and well-educated. he's often the personification of culture and refinement. the twentieth-century uncle thomas sometimes speaks with a yale or harvard accent. sometimes he is known as professor, doctor, judge, and reverend, even right reverend doctor. this twentieth-century uncle thomas is a professional negro -by that i mean his profession is being a negro for the white man.

The humanities and science are not in inherent conflict but have become separated in the twentieth century. now their essential unity must be re-emphasized, so that twentieth-century multiplicity may become twentieth-century unity.

Creative power has to filter through our beliefs, attitudes, emotions, and habits. the more negative and constricted our beliefs and patterns are, the more they block the creative energy. most people hope that by ignoring negativity, it will go away, but the reverse is actually true. through recognizing, acknowledging, and experiencing it, the blocked energy can be released. you are then free to replace it with positive beliefs and attitudes.

To love at all is to be vulnerable. love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. if you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. but in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. it will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. to love is to be vulnerable.
