(Nobody's busting into YOUR apartment at three in the morning, are they? Well, then don't worry about what they're doing in South Korea and places like that. It's like the standard of living. Are you content to achieve your higher standard of living at the expense of people all over the world who've got a lower standard of living? Most Americans would say yes. Now we ask the question, are you content to enjoy your political freedom at the expense of people who are less free? I think they would also say yes.)

在摘录中，威廉·S·伯洛斯（William S. Burroughs）敦促读者反思自己的舒适和生活方式，而不必担心全球他人的斗争。他指出，许多美国人享有更高的生活水平，常常无视生活在不幸条件下的人所做的牺牲。这种批评强调了对财富和生活水平方面的国际差异的某种冷漠。
