Quote of the Day

“The capitalist system is not designed to enable caring or to strengthen human bonds, but to generate profits for nonhuman entities beyond the control of any individual, even the few in positions of relatively massive power.”

-- Josh Wilker's father, as reported by his son in the book “Benchwarmer: A Sports-Obsessed Memoir of Fatherhood.” Those “nonhuman entities,” by the way, are known to the U.S. Supreme Court, and thus the American legal system, as “people,” while the profits they generate are known as “speech.” Fun.
