These policies are implemented and praised by these groups’ willing servants, namely the increasingly bought-and-paid-for leadership of America’s political parties, academia, and lobbying industry. If allowed to continue, this process will turn the United States into a declining, unfair society with an impoverished, angry, uneducated population under the control of a small, ultrawealthy elite. Such a society would be not only immoral but also eventually unstable, dangerously ripe for religious and political extremism."
Charles Ferguson, Predator Nation, 2012
"Poverty wants— but greed wants everything, and more. They can never have enough, because their acquisition is driven not by any need, but by a sick and overpowering lust for more, and more. More than any other, more than their neighbors, their family, even themselves."
Jesse, 18 April 2019
"These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, consume."
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
