Kindred spirits, perhaps?...
"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 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, speaking from the steps of Sproul Hall, University of California at Berkeley, December 2, 1964
"An open letter to the people of Springfield: Today, our town lost what remains of its fragile civility, drowned in a sea of low-fat pudding. We are a town of lowbrows, no-brows, and ignorami. We have eight malls, but no symphony. Thirty-two bars, but no alternative theater. Thirteen stores that begin with "Le Sex." I write this letter not to nag or whine, but to prod. We can better ourselves!"
