Ever heard of the movie "The Network"?  A lot of people like quoting from it, and there are lots of clips of it on YouTube.  A lot of freethinkers and revolutionary types seem to like it.  But do you guys really know the message of that movie.  It's not as upbeat and hopeful as some of you may think.

The machine continues to roll.

Here is the famous speech from the movie, though here it extends past the point after he says "I'm mad as hell, and Im not going to take this anymore!!"  You get to see people all over following suit... but notice the one guy who isn't joining in.  He left the Network before this happened... keep that in mind.

There is a price to pay for speaking out against the machine.  Note the symbolism here.

Here we are again, and the "prophet" tries to wake up the masses once again.  But the soul has already been sold.
