We're Mad as Hell!!

The Setting: I came across this clip of Peter Finch as Howard Beale in the movie Network. Some consider it to be one of the best movie speeches ever. It's from 1976, but it could really be from 2008. Watch the Mad as Hell clip on YouTube.

"I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth; banks are going bust; shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are running wild in the streets, and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it... I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore!!"
