A child sits before a glowing glass, while a thousand miles away, a man turns a crank to make the child’s ghost perform a shame that the child’s body has never known.

They have stolen a shadow and called it your shame; if you do not agree to own the shadow, they have stolen nothing but a handful of flickering light.

That a machine should be permitted to misappropriate the very identity of a minor, thereby violating the natural right to one's own person, is a tyranny no free society can endure.

The defect lies in a system that permits the circulation of a fraudulent currency of character without a central authority to verify the mint or punish the counterfeiter.

You boast of a progress that liberates the mind while you forge new chains out of light and shadow to bind the honor of the next generation.

Education fails if it teaches a child to navigate a machine but neglects to teach the neighbor that the heart is not a toy for his amusement.

In every land I visited, the honor of the family was guarded like a fortress, yet here the gates are left open to every passing phantom and invisible thief.

It is a most efficient advancement that we no longer require the child's consent to participate in their own degradation, saving us the tedious labor of traditional corruption.
