Here I Stand
July 25, 2010
Commentary by Stephen Downes

Erica Goldson describes her high school graduation for what it is. "Here I am in a world guided by fear, a world suppressing the uniqueness that lies inside each of us, a world where we can either acquiesce to the inhuman nonsense of corporatism and materialism or insist on change. We are not enlivened by an educational system that clandestinely sets us up for jobs that could be automated, for work that need not be done, for enslavement without fervency for meaningful achievement." Via Sott.net which doesn't even do her the courtesy of a link. Via Tracie.
