Here I am again, the rebel, the teacher, the prophet, I can't help myself, I can't control it. I'm rebelling at work about employee rights, i'm learning at home all I can about the world from the media sources available to me, I'm teaching everyone I meet about the "truth", and i'm prophesising again on the internet to an unseen audience.

Don't I know better? don't I know where this leads! Of course I do, but I can't help it. Call it humanism, call it in individualism, call it stupidity, call it whatever, but I cannot stay a slave in the circle of life.

I broke my circle, it no longer turns, but I am still trapped by it. My life counts, my life means something, I am not resource 7711 who exceeds expectations year on year, but doesn't complain when he loses his pay rise or bonus due to an ETO reason. I'm mad as hell and i'm not going to take it anymore!

Knowledge is power, and power is understanding. If I can just learn enough about the system, then I can break it, or at least subvert it, I have intelligence enough to find a hole, to escape from this crown of servitude, and I will.

You need me badly! Because i'm your last contact with human reality. I love you, and that painful, decaying love is the only thing between you and the shrieking nothingness you live the rest of the day... ...You're one of howard's humanoids, if I stay with you i'll be destroyed.
