No matter how successfully we silence the Little Bastard Within, we always know he’s there; that muffled voice calling bullshit, that inner Holden Caulfield reminding us of what phonies we are. However we might suppress his message, he’s always in there; the unkillable and unsilenceable voice of truth. We know what he has to say and we know what he wants, which is why eyes-closed, fear-based, egoclad, herdbound juveniles dedicate so much energy to muzzling him.
