“Now musing o'er the changing scene Farmers behind the tavern screen Collect; with elbows idly press'd On hob, reclines the corner's guest, Reading the news to mark again The bankrupt lists or price of grain. Puffing the while his red-tipt pipe He dreams o'er troubles nearly ripe, Yet, winter's leisure to regale, Hopes better times, and sips his ale.” DreamReadingBehindsTroubleSceneNewsRedMarkPressesWinterCornersScreensListsFarmersGuestsLeisureGrainPipeRipeElbowsMusingsInnsAleTaverns Author:John Clare

“Nothing which is at all times and in every way agreeable to us can have objective reality. It is of the very nature of the real that it should have sharp corners and rough edges, that it should be resistant, should be itself.

“...As the disparity between the rich and the poor grows, the fight to corner resources is intensifying. To push through their "sweetheart deals," to corporatize the crops we grow, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the dreams we dream, corporate globalization needs an international confederation of loyal, corrupt, authoritarian governments in poorer countries to push through unpopular reforms and quell the mutinies. Corporate Globalization-or shall we call it by its name?-Imperialism-needs a press that pretends to be free. It needs courts that pretend to dispense justice.” NeedsCountryDreamGovernmentFightingNamesGrowsWaterJusticePoorDealsRichAirDrinkResourcesCourtPressesInternationalCornersBreatheReformCorporateLoyalImperialismGlobalizationCropsSweetheartDisparityMutinyConfederationAuthoritarian Government Author:Arundhati Roy
