My dear fellow citizens: For forty years you have heard from my predecessors on this day different variations of the same theme: how our country flourished, how many millions of tons of steel we produced, how happy we all were, how we trusted our government, and what bright perspectives were unfolding in front of us.

Notions such as love, friendship, compassion, humility, or forgiveness have lost their depth and dimensions. . .

It reduced gifted and autonomous people to nuts and bolts in some monstrously huge, noisy, and stinking machine.
