"If you ever wish to punish some man, Phalaris, shut him up within the bull and lay a fire beneath it; by his groanings the bull will be thought to bellow and his cries of pain will give you pleasure as they come through the pipes in the nostrils." -Diodorus of Sicily During the past 150 years millions of human beings were scooped off the land and shoveled into the bellies of smoke-belching factories to make the Bull of Phalaris roar. -Eric Hoffer
