You talk as if people were designed to fit into the western
'rational/romantic' framework of behavior. This framework approaches the
truth, but sometimes they separate. Surely, you've lost control at one
point or another: my smashing the machines wasn't really a loss of
control, it was pretty much voluntary. The smashing of cars isn't losing
control: it is just that these people are so frustrated that they don't
care anymore. I know that it's difficult to sympathize with feelings that
you aren't experiencing, but try anyway.

I don't recall eating bread machine bread. I'm sure that you've tasted the
soft sliced white sponges that bear the name of 'bread' around here. I
haven't eaten those for a long time, I always eat real bread made somewhat
in keeping with Slavic/Russian recipies, made in a New York factory. It
may not be as good as bread in Europe, but it's better than what most
people eat.
