If we can't, then no-one can

Description

<bq caption="Speech on the Sproul Hall Steps" date="December 2, 1964" author="Mario Savio">There's 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.</bq> <hr> <n>This was 45 years ago and the wheel of history has come around again. There doesn't seem to be any other way, really. Cited at the end of the recent announcement by Anonymous calling for Berbanke's resignation. While the demand is either silly or purely symbolic, the problem is very real.</n>
