The human body is a machine, a system of organic chemicals, fluid conduits,
electrical impulses; a government is likewise a machine of interacting
societies, laws, cultures, rewards and punishments, patterns of behavior.
Ultimately, the universe itself is a machine, planets around suns, stars
gathered into clusters, clusters and other suns forming entire galaxies . . . .
Our job is to keep the machinery functioning.
