Sometimes it seems as if our jobs are slave
masters, barking out orders telling us when, how
long, and where to do our needed task. Why do
people listen? Why would someone want to work a
graveyard shift with double-overtime? It is not

the community. No, most people work because they
are stuck in a financial rut and they are trying
to claw their way out. Why else would anyone put
himself or herself thr...

differs from freedom of action. But speech and
action are so closely interwoven in human behavior
that its not always immediately obvious which is

the action that it accompanies. This is a mistake.
Consider, for example, the apocryphal snuff movie.

anti-censorship activism, Ive encountered no
