   Microphone

   The microphone matters.

   The Microphone covered in caustic contradictions from spastic politicians, matters. The microphone drenched in diatribes from diabolic debaters, matters. The microphone covered in beer and spit and anger, pain, joy, and fear, matters. The microphone, matters. 

   Check, check, check-o-slo-vak-ia. Yu-go-sla-via. Mother Russia, soviet time bomb. The microphone matters. 

   One, two, one, two. America! America! Patriotism! Family and God! The microphone matters. 

   Levels, levels, levels. I have a dream! We will not rest! Liberty! Freedom! Education! The microphone matters. 

   The  most important invention of the last century was the radio. The most important invention of this century was the internet. The most important invention of all time was the printing press. But the most moving invention remains, the microphone. 

   Sound carries. 

   Sound moves.

   The microphone, matters.  

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.

- Robert A. Heinlein
