Sold? not EYE

A Corporation,

essentially, is a pile of money to which a number of persons
have SOLD their moral allegiance.”


~ Wendell Berry



Perhaps the most extraordinary
Characteristic of current America is the attempt to reduce life to buying and selling.
Life is not love unless love is sex and bought and sold.
Life is not knowledge save knowledge of technique, of science for destruction.
Life is not beauty except beauty for sale.
Life is not Art unless its price is high and it is sold for profit.
All life is production for profit, and for what is profit but for buying and selling again ?” 


~ W.E.B. Du Bois
