Saturday Morning Sage.....featuring Maude Barlow |
|
"There are those who intend that one day everything will be owned by somebody and we're not just talking goods here. We're talking human rights, human services, essential services for life. Education, public health, social assistance, pensions, housing. We're also talking about the survival of the planet. The areas that we believe must be maintained in the commons or under common control or we will collectively die."
-- Maude Barlow, chairperson of The Council of Canadians, from the film, "The Corporation"

And a few days ago I heard a GOPer suggest that we sell off those commons to pay off our debt. Once that is done we have a Kingdom....or feudalistic society...the very thing the American revolution was against.
