"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious—makes you so sick at heart—that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all." -Mario Savio

    This could be applied to many entities, but is particularly apropos right now. Hopefully not too many of us will be ground up in the gears while stopping them.

    Mario was aiming his comments at the presidential body of UC Berkley during the civil rights movement, but they apply broadly. The man reminds me a bit of William Kunstler.
