Edward Abbey Quotes

Unequipped To Hold Their Own In The Ferociously Competitive World Of White America, In Which Even The Language Is Foreign To Them, The Navajos Sink Ever Deeper Into The Culture Of Poverty, Exhibiting All Of The Usual And Well-known Symptoms: Squalor, Unemployment Or Irregular And Ill-paid Employment, Broken Families, Disease, Prostitution, Crime, Alcoholism, Lack Of Education, Too Many Children, Apathy And Demoralization, And Various Forms Of Mental Illness, Including Evangelical Protestantism. Whether In The Favelas Of Rio De Janeiro, The Barrios Of Caracas, The Ghettos Of Newark, The Mining Towns Of West Virginia Or The Tarpaper Villages Of Gallup, Flagstaff And Shiprock, It's The Same The World Over - One Big Wretched Family Sequestered In Sullen Desperation, Pawed Over By Social Workers, Kicked Around By The Cops And Prayed Over By The Missionaries.
