@yanivtalmusic This is the original recording from the release archive made by the authors. They stated that it was mainly for blind people. I am sure that the blind are quite used to TTS (text to speech). Also, the authors wish to remain anonymous which is probably another reason it is machine read.
Also, this is not an OWS document. It's beyond even that. They are of course free to adopt it (and if they are smart, they will). This is the first true statement of a larger movement for ALL.
@yanivtalmusic It never fails to surprise me how people who get things for 'free' often become belligerently demanding, often attacking the provider. I have observed this behavior among pigeons and ducks who are often fed by humans. Moral of the story, handouts are not always good. One must at least make some effort to obtain something in order to be grateful.
Having said that, you have the free book as well, so why not create your own audio recording since you don't like this one much?
Anonymous is now supporting this document, as well as many in and outside the Occupy movement. Virtually everyone that reads this agrees, this could be the red pill that wakes everybody up and can unite us all. Spread the word.
@ONHoutreach11 I must re-post what you said because I think it is a valuable statement. I'm sorry but it's just too valuable to not share. Say take it down and I will.
The comment was:
"This document is the most rational and well thought out proposal that not only Occupiers can believe in but, all Americans can believe in! That is why this document is so important. Its non-partisan tone and ideas cannot divide the people into their respective factions and ideology. This goes beyond politics."
A sound well thought out expression of the place that we find ourselves and perhaps more importantly a reasonable, measured and effective plan for a course of action without compromise.
OWS should spend some money on creating a recording of a real person reading this. It would appeal to more people.
