Quote of the Day

From a post entitled "3 Things That Must Happen for Us To Rise Up and Defeat the Corporatocracy":

Looking back on her career as a freedom fighter, Tubman noted, “I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.”

There is none so blind as he who will not see.

Bonus quote:

We are ruled by so many “industrial complexes”—military, financial, energy, food, pharmaceutical, prison, and so on — that it is almost impossible to stay on top of every way we are getting screwed.

No shit.
