Congress is so beholden to the money that any solution in the general interest will be frustrated and subverted by the corporate interests who feel they will be damaged by progress, fair play and justice. ↗

There isn't as much passion and outrage in today's newspapers. That may be because of a corporate decision, but they've lost their personality. ↗

The cultivation of sensibility on purely personal lines may, in fact, be the very worst training for a world where only the corporate and the cooperative will matter. ↗
