(spoken introduction)
there comes a time when the operation of the machine is so odious that you
cannot even tacitly participate. you've got to place your bodies on
the gears, the wheels, all the mechanism. you've got to indicate to
those who own it and those who run it, that unless you are free, the
machine will be prevented from working at all.
