An excerpt from George Orwell's "Shooting an Elephant"
Illustrating the point made in Bill Resnick's interview with Lawrence Davidson that the oppressor is driven mad by his role as oppressor, Clayton Morgareidge reads from George Orwell's account of how he lost his freedom when he served as a British colonial policeman in Burma in the 1920s. It's called "Shooting an Elephant," and you can read the whole story here. The music in this piece is from this video.
