Quote of the Day

[Dave Monroe]

"Thirty or forty years ago, there were still debates about what the
future will be - Communism, socialism, fascism, liberal capitalism,
totalitarian bureaucratic capitalism. The idea was that life would
somehow go on on earth, but that there are different possibilities.
Now we talk all the time about the end of the world, but it is much
easier for us to imagine the end of the world than a small change in
the political system. Life on earth maybe will end, but somehow
capitalism will go on." --Slavoj Zizek (2003)
