My brother was the one who really introduced me to Thompson. I've only recently started reading his work with any seriousness. Good stuff!
Which theoretical sociological approach are you talking about? I never took sociology in school, which is a pity. I've always found it interesting stuff.
One approach I've found that deals with the fear culture quite well is contempt. Sounds horrible, I know, but it works ever so well for stopping the fear from getting you personally, and it infects others so that the fear leaves them

No worries for the long comment. It was thought-provoking.
I've gone through periods in my life of feeling deep, dark contempt for large masses of humanity. I think anyone with eyes, and a functioning brain probably has. And yes, it certainly works very, very well as a buffer to how much the fear gets to me. The only problem I've run into personally is that it tends to make me a pompous ass.
I do try not to be an ass. Try. d-:
Who knows, maybe it's time that I started being less nice and more of an ass. At least for a while.

I've never actually seen the movie version. It's got Johnny Depp!
