MACHINES
these technological monsters
would make great weapons for the
world powers. They are the most
effective devices I've ever seen
for reducing a human being to
a crumpled heap of screaming ob
scentities, totally helpless.
Screaming is the only legal de
fense (beating a machine is illegal
just like most other things that
are enjoyable) humans have. And

fied screaming at a machine. Thus,
by reducing one to this state the
machine accomplishes his purpose.
I don't think it is too much
to ask to get what one pays for
(often paying more than one should)
without having to do battle with
these technological monsters. At
least the machine companies could
make it interesting and a little j
fairer by having pity on us poor
humans and drawing up a stratagem f
for us, after all, we are paying j
for it. I
