"I'm jay walkin' and I don't give a fuck"

People in Saline are just pissed because they're common. They're common because they've allowed themselves to be -- out of their fear of the unkown. They chose the safety of groupthink over the uncertainty of individuality, and they're paying for it every day in the depressed, lackidaisical way that they live their lives. So, of course their only recourse is to find a way to justify their poor decisions and their boredom. They decide that the way they live is "right" and other ways are "wrong." It allows them to have a scapegoat for the misery they feel, but refuse to recognize.
