Monday Ménage

Barbara Ehrenreich. Evita Ochel. Naomi Klein.

I was raised the old-fashioned way, with a stern set of moral principles: Never lie, cheat, steal or knowingly spread a venereal disease. Never speed up to hit a pedestrian or, of course, stop to kick a pedestrian who has already been hit. From which it followed, of course, that one would never ever – on pain of deletion from dozens of Christmas card lists across the country – vote Republican. Barbara Ehrenreich

Until you realize how easily it is for your mind to be manipulated, you remain the puppet of someone else’s game. Evita Ochel

Democracy is not just the right to vote, it is the right to live in dignity. Naomi Klein
