Oh the joy of procrastination! I am supposed to be writing a paper right now. Anyways, read A Timbered Choir by Wendell Berry.


"Year by year man's liberties are trampled under foot at the bidding of corporations and trusts, rights are invaded and law perverted. In all ages wherever a tyrant has shown himself, he has always found some willing judge to clothe that tyranny in the robes of legality, and modern capitalism has proven no exception to the rule."

"Repression or oppression never yet succeeded in crushing the truth or redressing a wrong..."

-Samuel Gompers, "Letter on Labor in Industrial Society." Forum, September 1894
