Unlikely 2.0


   The time when the operation of the machine becomes so foreign, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't even passively take part, then you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers and 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
