Modern day "Gadfly"

I would say that the American government would be the modern day Socrates/gadfly. They are so damn annoying. They have us go through this system that they created to keep our nation "in order". They control television. Putting out ads on T.V that portray what type of person I have to be in order to be a "model citizen". I mean damn! can I just live my life the way I want to?!? Why can't I just play music with my band? Is that not good enough? Apparently not! Oh wait I have to go to "college" and get an "education". If I don't I get looked down apon as a failure to society. I need to get a job and crap! But now in this time and age I can't get one without a COLLEGE EDUCATION! Stop telling me how should live my life AMERICA! Thats the reason I believe that the American Government is the modern day Socrates. I have an idea. How about I burn my music into the brains of the government through the internet,radio and T.V. Maybe then I could just do what I love...Make music
