"'There comes 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-  Founder of the Free Speech Movement.
