“America's universities are filled with economically ignorant haters of the free market, so university campuses have become major forums for union denunciations of such companies as Nike, Wal-mart, and others. Faculty and students claim to be concerned about 'social justice,' but they are simply being used as dupes by unions who are not at all concerned with justice of any sort. Rather, their main concern is increasing the coffers of union treasuries by driving non-union competitors from the market.” AmericaUsedSocialJusticeCompanyStudentsMajorsConcernConcernedClaimsSocial JusticeFilledUnionsUniversityDrivingIgnorantFacultyCompetitorsFree MarketCampusTreasuryForumsNikeDupes Author:Thomas DiLorenzo

“Because they claim to be concerned with the welfare of whole societies, governments arrogate to themselves the right to pass off as mere abstract profit or loss the human unhappiness that their decisions provoke or their negligence permits. It is a duty of an international citizenship to always bring the testimony of people's suffering to the eyes and ears of governments, sufferings for which it's untrue that they are not responsible. The suffering of men must never be a mere silent residue of policy. It grounds an absolute right to stand up and speak to those who hold power.” PeopleMenHumansWholeGovernmentEyeSufferingSpeakLossDecisionPolicyDutyConcernedEarsClaimsAbsolutesResponsibleMereSilentInternationalProfitWelfareAbstractUnhappinessPermitProvokingCitizenshipTestimonyUntrueNegligence Author:Michel Foucault
“When we are young we do not look into mirrors. It is when we are old, concerned with our name, our legend, what our lives will mean to the future.
