The Transformer: Sabotage for Peace | William T. Hathaway

A former student of mine works as a janitor. After graduating from college he worked as a market researcher and an advertising salesperson, but both jobs soured him on the corporate world. He hated being a junior suit, and the thought of becoming a senior suit was even worse.
(snip)
He began to realize the politicians aren't representing us but what he calls the corpses, short for corporations. The majority of those want the war to continue. It's the corporate majority that rules, not the citizens. That's the democracy we have. When business leaders turn against the war, then it will end.
What would make them turn against it? When they stop making a profit from it, he concluded.
Finally feeling glad to be part of the corporate world, he decided to stage a surge for peace. He bought a 10-amp step-up transformer at an electronics flea market, the kind used to increase voltage from 110 to 220. Next time he was scheduled to work at the defense contractor and the weatherman predicted a thunder storm, he brought the transformer along in his dinner box. At the first flash of lightning, he took it to the data processing center. First he unplugged all the computers and auxiliaries from the surge protectors and zapped them with 220. Then he plugged them back in and zapped the surge protectors. A clear case of surge-protector failure: the damned things must've let the surge through before they shut down.
