Hi i have found this during my searching and found it quite intriguing. The web address is below.
"(Found on a bathroom wall somewhere in the U.S.A.)You've taken over my mind. You've raped my thoughts with your image viruses then sold me fake cures for your own disease. Your words and pictures scream orders at me like angry prison wardens. When I cover my ears, your voices echo in my head. I hate you. When I see your billboards, your talk shows, your rock concerts and your factories, when I see the work of your twisted libidos, I want to kill you. I want to set fires, plant bombs, derail trains. I want to smash your buildings and tear at your bodies until the skin of my hands is worn to the bone. I am filled with a rage that burns my eyes. I don't want to feel this way. You have done this to me. These feelings are the fruits of your multi-billion dollar sowing. And I am not alone. There are others like me out here. Every suicide, every madman, every man and woman who gets a gun and just starts shooting -- these are your illegitimate children. They don't all know what they are doing. All they know is hate for the invisible walls which you have raised around them, hate for the narrow path you have tried to make them walk. And the innocent pay in blood for your negligence. Remember this: My mind is big. The more you try to push me down and make me small, the greater the pressure inside me becomes. The greater the pressure, the greater the chance of an explosion. There was once a time when I felt love, but now I feel only hate and anger, and fear at what I might do. And you can tell me to "BE HAPPY," but I know that you really mean "BE QUIET". Believe me, I want to be happy. You stand in my way. "
Here is the websites I found it on: http://www.abrupt.org/CJ/

Wow. I don't really know what else to say about that. It somewhat amazes me that someone could feel that much hate, particulaly when its not really directed at anyone/thing in particular. I must say i find that website quite confronting, as with that whole paragraph. Im not entirly sure what your essay topic is, but i dont think i could read much more information like that. Good luck, such strong hate is something i really struggle to understand.
It very confronting but the author is expressing his anger at consumerism and the power corporations have over many minds, that people can not critise and think about the 'bigger' social and political issues, but are concerned about themselves and their image, instead of the plight of others.
