Read the excerpt from Henry David Thoreau's "Resistance to Civil Government":
All machines have their friction; and possibly this does
enough good to counterbalance the evil. At any rate, it is a
great evil to make a stir about it. But when the friction
comes to have its machine, and oppression and robbery
are organized, I say, let us not have such a machine any
longer
