"Apparently, a concern for others is self-love at its least attractive, while greed is now a sign of the highest altruism. But then to reverse, periodically, the meanings of words is a very small price to pay for our vast freedom not only to conform but to consume." Gore Vidal

He's probably right, too.
Grover Norquist is bragging that with 60 Republican Senators, Social Security will be just a memory. Sorry, Mom. I know your old-age security is important, but by God, these people need to offload a massive amount of the public treasury to Wall Street. You undersand, I'm sure. Sorry Aunt T, I know your Social Security checks are all that keeps you out of the county nursing home and in your own house, but hey, George Bush's buddies need to feed their corporate masters, and their untold billions in tax breaks aren't enough. Grandma? I apologize that your Social Security checks help keep food on your table, but, well, there's really not much else to say, is there?
