Democracy has taught him to hate slavery-and the machine has made him so little of a slave that he scarcely needs to use his hands and jaws and legs. The more "neutral" and "uniform" a product is, the more comfortable he finds it. The 19th Century gardener grew 30 kinds of apples in his orchard, ranging in taste from bitter to sweet. Today, "the large red apple" caters to the public love of all that...
...bitter, though in the bizone are much more displace persons than in the Russain zone, because an enormous part of our harvest is brought to Russia. On the end I must yet once say, that all I wrote, is the only truth and you must not think that I hate the Russians and I write to you calumnious things...
