"The world has become one big grassy knoll, crawling with lone gunmen who think they're the Warren Commission"
- Ken MacLeod
About this Quote
This quote by Ken MacLeod paints a brilliant picture of the world today. It recommends that the world has actually become an unsafe place, filled with individuals who are out on their own and believe they understand the truth. The phrase "grassy knoll" is a referral to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the "lone shooters" are those who are acting alone and without regard for the effects of their actions. The "Warren Commission" is a reference to the commission that was established to investigate the assassination of JFK. The quote implies that the world has plenty of individuals who think they understand the truth and are willing to act on it, regardless of the effects. This is a stark reminder of the dangers of a world where people are willing to act on their own beliefs without thinking about the consequences.
