Quinn Quote Saturday

"Despite all the indicators of misery we live with--the ever growing incidence of social disintegration, drug addiction, crime, suicide, mental illness, child and spousal abuse and abandonment, racism, violence against women, and so on--most people in our culture are thoroughly convinced that our way of life simply cannot be bettered by any means whatever. Adopting anything different would therefore have to be a comedown, an act of sacrifice."--Daniel Quinn, Pg.86, Beyond Civilization
