Human Vegetables

Not at all! I hale any sense of essential superiority of one man over another, and as well as insisting that all men deserve equality of opportunity I believe that all men are capable of sensing, understanding and participating in the higher things of the intellect. And yet you say such a high proportion of people (particularly in New Zealand) are little more than human vegetables, self-portable pieces of chemistry that merely eat, sleep, vinced that this now self-perpetuating disease arises through a social and educational system that goes out of its way to kill some of our most precious possessions: Imagination, initiative, inquisitiveness and individuality. Have you ever wondered about the redness of roses, the touch of a lover? Have you ever painted a shriek? Do you know what it is like to be crucified? Do you think Galileo ever regretted going blind? Have you ever had a virgin thought or perceived a new piece of knowledge?
