I like that Chomsky quote- but perhaps the Internet is making it irrelevant.
Hi Lorraine:
Very nicely crafted slogans, thanks for them. I intend to post one or two on my blog.
There are only two or three I disagree with. The significant one is:
“The only safety net worth a damn is job security.”
On second thought, I do agree. It is worth a damn.
John Calvin, father of the work ethic as we have known it, mass murderer and sexual predator, said “the damned must be taught to police themselves.”
Selling yourself to a master on a planet rotting with wealth is an unfortunate bargain. To do it for life is a tragedy.
Best,
Jack Saturday
