"There is 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 uponthe 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 of the Berkeley Free Speech Movement in 1964, talking about the corporate university
