Thanks to the push of big business and their flagrant disregard for safety (bolting the fire doors shut so people can’t leave early, that completely defeats the purpose, I think I’ve heard of more humane practices in Nike sweatshops), 150 workers – mostly women – were condemned to burn to death, which is one of the more painful and unpleasant ways to go.

Every time I think about it, I get angry. And people wonder why I have a deep-seated dislike of large corporations that try to interfere with policy. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

~Alexis de Tocqueville

If only it had turned out that way. Instead, we’ve legalized bribery and turned the Congress into a public auction.

This situation will never change until we place term limits on these people. Being a Senator is supposed to a be a term of service, not a career.
