Operation of the Machine

Los Angeles Antiwar Protest (October 27, 2007) - Ron Kovic quotes Mario Savio (Berkeley Free Speech Movement):

"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!"

[Operation2]

Wasn't that Robert Kennedy who said that?

[adryroseinbloom]

Nope. Originally, Mario Savio in the 60s.
