Naomi Klein Quotes
Still, We've Gone Soft Since Those Days Of Wartime Sacrifice, Haven't We? Contemporary Humans Are Too Self-centered, Too Addicted To Gratification To Live Without The Full Freedom To Satisfy Our Every Whim - Or So Our Culture Tells Us Every Day. And Yet The Truth Is That We Continue To Make Collective Sacrifices In The Name Of An Abstract Greater Good All The Time. We Sacrifice Our Pensions, Our Hard-won Labor Rights, Our Arts And After-school Programs. We Send Our Kids To Learn In Ever More Crowded Classrooms, Led By Ever More Harried Teachers. We Accept That We Have To Pay Dramatically More For The Destructive Energy Sources That Power Our Transportation And Our Lives. We Accept That Bus And Subway Fares Go Up And Up While Service Fails To Improve Or Degenerates. We Accept That A Public University Education Should Result In A Debt That Will Take Half A Lifetime To Pay Off When Such A Thing Was Unheard Of A Generation Ago.
