"At this moment, an employee in a grocery store is setting out genetically engineered produce rather than tending her garden; A dishwasher is sweating over a steaming sink while unwashed dishes stack up in his kitchen; A line cook is taking orders from strangers instead of cooking at a neighborhood barbecue; An advertising agent is composing jingles for laundry detergent rather than playing music with his friends. A woman is watching wealthier people's children at a daycare program rather than spending time with her own; A child is being dropped off there instead of growing up with those who know and love him; A student is writing a thesis about an activity that interests her instead of participating in it. A man is masturbating with internet pornography instead of exploring his sexuality with a partner; An activist, weary after a hard day's work, is putting on a Hollywood movie for entertainment; And a demonstrator who has her own unique reasons to protest is carrying a sign mass-produced by a bureaucratic organization."
