What More Can I Say? R.E.M. + underrated John Lennon song + good cause = turning Wendell into a Hurf Durf Hippie
I really would like to help, but I'm not giving any money. I'd really like to make meaningful change, but I'm politically impotent.
We do need to do something about this and other atrocities, yet we live in an age where the USA can go to war and have not war bond drives but massive tax cuts. How does that work?
If you want to change things, heck I don't know, but a link to Das Kapital or something would be more useful than this.
I agree with you, wendell, but it says something that your posting this link just makes me angry and, I don't know, empty I suppose.
Real change requires real effort and sacrifice. But without some sort of direction for that effort and sacrifice, I'm not making either. I suspect few other people will.
