What are the ills of society he is referring to?
Well in his eyes the 'ills of society' are firstly anybody who doesn't fly a plane.
Secondly, anybody who dare 'rise against the machine', make passing comment against 'he who shall not be named', or dare expose an infinite measure of fact and truth about the S.S CASA is deemed 'an ill of society'. Interestingly the Senators are questioning Mr Skull's little outfit and commenting in a robust manner, mostly not in favor of Fort Fumble, so are Mr Skull's comments aimed also at the good Senators?
