8.If you drive through Florida, going up and up and up,
you'll eventually get to this part where everything you
look at makes you want to kill yourself. The towns make
most of their money by ticketing speeders that pass it by,
since no one ever stops there, and there are Walmarts all
over the place but you cannot ever really properly understand
why – why a Walmart when there is such a small population?
There has to be a small population, nobody in their right
mind would stay in this town and not feel like their sweat
was peeling off of them and their eyes were being drilled
into their skulls. They all have names like “Arcadia,” and
“South Springs,” and they sound okay except for the extreme
stench of poverty and terror that wells up in your nose when
you go by them. They're surrounded by companies that shove the
ground full of chemicals, the kind you know have to be owned by
Monsanto or Beelzebub, at least. They're creating massive holes
in the limestone and harvesting sugar cane in a way that fills
the sky with black burning.
