“Our opposition will never understand the Democratic Party. Our Party is--to the unpracticed eyes of the old Republican Tories--a mysterious contraption that usually seems to be moving in a thousand directions. What they don't know is what hurts them. For all that movement in the Democratic Party is caused by the internal combustion of creative ferment, of ideas, of people vigorously committed to the proposition that change and social progress are not only to be desired; they are necessities of twentieth-century America.” PeopleKnowsIdeasSeemsEyeAmericaMovingSocialHurtPartyCreativeProgressCenturyMovementRepublicanThousandDemocraticCommittedMysteriousOppositionInternalsPropositionsTwentieth CenturyDemocratic PartyMoving InSocial ProgressCombustion Author:Hubert H.

“Women of a selected class, by the use of slaves and servants have become inactive, the mere recipients of values, no longer creators but "feeding on unearned wealth."

“The logic of all this seems to be that it is all right for young people in a democracy to learn about any civilization or social theory that is not dangerous, but that they should remain entirely ignorant of any civilization or social theory that might be dangerous on the ground that what you don't know can't hurt you ... a complete denial of the democratic principle that the general diffusion of knowledge and learning through the community is essential to the preservation of free government.” PeopleKnowsShouldSeemsGovernmentMightYoungSocialCommunityHurtEducationPrinciplesDemocracyDangerousTheoryCivilizationEssentialsLogicDemocraticIgnorantDenialPreservationFree GovernmentDiffusionKnowledge And LearningSocial Theory Book:Freedom and Responsibility in the American Way of Life Source: Freedom and Responsibility in the American Way of Life
“I believe that a lot of people in our society today, people who have been hurt and even people who haven't been hurt, get their worth and value from what they do, what they look like, what they own, what kind of job they have, what kind of house they live in, how much money they have, what social circles they're in, what level of education they have, especially even how other people respond to them.

“Reality is much more complex than any judgment of right and wrong encourages you to believe. When you really understand the ethical, spiritual, social, economic, and psychological forces that shape individuals, you will see that people's choices are not based on a desire to hurt. Instead, they are in accord with what they know and what world views are available to them. Most are doing the best they can, given what information they've received and what problems they are facing.” PeopleKnowsWorldBelieveProblemRealitySpiritualDesireChoicesIndividualGivenForceSocialHurtViewsEconomicInformationShapesJudgmentComplexesAvailablePsychologicalEthicalAccordWorld View Author:Michael Lerner

“Child care can almost bankrupt a family, even a two-parent household in which both parents are working. That keeps a parent from being at ease and it really stifles the social and economic growth of a family. Women are hit hard across the board, but particularly in homes where the mother is the head of the household and the only wage-earner. It hurts her, and it hurts her children.” ChildrenTwoHardHomeCareMotherSocialParentGrowthHurtEconomicEaseBoardsHouseholdIt HurtsEconomic GrowthChild Care Author:Nina Turner
