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... |

| | | | Thanks for posting this. I think I might check it out. Also, I'd love to meet some of you ROC people I haven't met yet. Look for the tall skinny guy in the white shirt.
EDIT: And afterwards we can checkout that nearby location to make sure those bastard photo students shut the door.

| | | | I checked this out. It was pretty interesting...though I'll pass on the book. Thanks again for the post. Sorry I had to bounce, got shit going on in a bit.
I was the guy in the back by the door.
It was refreshing to hear about these kirkbrides like Buffalo St, Taunton, NJ State, Greystone, etc from someone who knows what they're talking about instead of a psychotic flamewar on UER.
