WE ARE NOT RAW MATERIALS-WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcx9BJRadfw


"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!"

WE ARE NOT RAW MATERIALS

WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS!

1. Thanks for this.
A great way to wake up.

Somehow I missed this guy. Don't know how but I will make up for it now. He should have been able to live longer, anyone who does not want to be an activist but will stand and speak like he did deserves to have a long and peaceful life. Too bad.

3. And what was Bush doing around this time (1964)?
likely counting money and getting drunk in his frat house.

5. That's where you're wrong.
The ruling class remains so by seeing and treating the unwashed masses as raw material. It's always been this way and always will be.
