Quote #2 on Political Struggle Quotes >> State and Civilization

“The chief features of his [the city's engineer's] plan are based on what he aptly calls 'pistol architecture,' and includes provisions for no-shooting precincts fenced high with steel, the construction of circular and wavy road design to increase the difficulties of gun-dueling, the erection of high shatter-proof glass screens running down the centers of roads to prevent effective cross-firing, and the setting up of heavily protected television cameras at all strategic positions in the towns in order to relay information twenty-four hours a day to a vast new centralized police force equipped with fleets of helicopters.”
