Paying Attention

Herein be random ruminations on politics, history, ideas, spirituality, religion, education, media, life, relationships, culture... and Boston sports when I really want to vent.

"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention." (ubiquitous)

"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has and never will." (Frederick Douglass)

"I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires." (Susan B. Anthony)

"Clearly the trick in life is to die young as late as possible." (William Sloane Coffin)

FREE ENTERPRISE BINGO

Beyond the inherent moral sadness of this bingo board, the contextual moral sadness?   The contemporary right-wing  mentality displayed here is the same as that which advocated England’s Poor Laws 600 years ago and Robber Baron capitalism 200 years ago.

And here we are in 2012 with reactionary economic forces still powerful enough to make us fight these elemental moral battles yet again.
