It makes me angry, and I was going to say this on Facebook but didn't get round to it so it's good you've given me another chance, it makes me angry that people always quote that "mad as hell and not going to take it any more!" speech in a way that implies that the guy is some kind of heroic figure who's seen through the lies of the system and is leading the people to fight back; when in fact he's a superficial, mentally rickety little man desperately clinging to the spotlight that was in danger of being snatched away from him.

An analogy would be... sampling Brian exhorting the masses that "you are all individuals!" as a rallying cry for the not-being-afraid-to-stand-out-from-the-crowd movement.
