Quote of the Day - 06-25-2013.

John Lewis:

"... it took a Bloody Sunday for Congress to finally decide to fix on-going, institutionalized discrimination that occurred for 100 years after the rights of freed slaves were nullified at the end of the Civil War. I am deeply concerned that Congress will not have the will to fix what the Supreme Court has broken."

I couldn't say it better. In so many ways this country is moving farther and farther away from rationality and justice and more towards the kind of country that nearly got torn apart over things that were wrong.

The ultimate platitude that describes capitalism.

Capitalism is the democracy of delusion for the powerful, and the illusion of democracy for everyone else. How's that for a platitude?
