Quote of the day
“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” ―Franklin D. Roosevelt

The--surprising--quote of the day
"Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." And here's the surprise of it. It was said by Benito Mussolini. He could be talking about today.

We've apparently "unlearned" what's good for us
From The New York Times today:
ON THIS DAY
On May 15, 1911, the Supreme Court ordered the dissolution of
Standard Oil Company, ruling it was in violation of the Sherman
Antitrust Act.
What a vastly different country we are today, compared to that 100 years ago, eh? And we're bound to be but back then, the people and government realized and recognized the dangers to the country of having one person and family and company wield so much control over an industry and they had the strength and wisdom to do something about it.
Now, it seems, we're both not bright or strong enough, either one, to do what's right and best for the country and people.
