Check Out This Golden Nugget

I haven’t had cable television in twenty years and I doubt I’ve missed much worthwhile programming because of it. Thanks to DVD rentals I now can enjoy some of the rare and worthy shows that have originated from that medium. One in particular is HBO’s “Deadwood,” a western drama with a fantastic screenplay, superb acting and plenty of colorful characters. There are also numerous anti-state references. Here’s one from the second season of the series courtesy of a casino/brothel owner:

“I guess my question is, ‘who didn’t know what government was before we came?’ Wasn’t it half our purpose to get shed of the c***sucker? And here it catches up to us again to do what’s in its nature- to lie to use, and confuse us, and to steal what come to us by toil and being lucky just once in our f***ing lives!”
“ And we’re going to be surprised by that, boys? Government being government? Will we next be shocked by rivers running or trees casting f***ing shadows?”
