Am I a Socialist?

“I think it's long past time to admit that socialism is the meat, potatoes, cabbages, and barley of civilization while capitalism is the opium, hashish, and cocaine.”
- J.M.Purser

Force majeure in the 21st century

The NY Times published an interview with Philip Levine in which he said, "There’s a kind of Protestant ethic that believes that if you’re really a good person, God will reward you with a full table and a garage full of automobiles and a beautiful husband or wife — that we should be judged by what the world has delivered to us."

Force majeure. Wrong then, wrong now.
