Modern Iconoclasty

I read in a libertarian-minded article recently (how's that for proper citational format?) that the modern iconoclast (don't worry, I looked it up too) is the person saying "don't worry, be happy". What was meant was that the norm of media fearmongering and consequential 24/7 hype over the latest developments in inconsequential world regions has incited an opposition of people bent on optimism. How great is it that all we must do to be rebellious is not worry, that to fulfil a desire to be different we must only be contently pacified? I like it.

I'm going to initiate a retaliatory war against the wannabe terrified world. I'm going to tell people not to worry so much about the fate of other countries or our own country, about our health or our driving. When I'm burning at the stake I'll look into their fear-addled eyes and start singing the peaceful regge; "don't worry, be happy now..."
