QUOTE OF THE DAY

“It is the ignorance of the past that invites the despairing of the present, which in turn leads to the marketing of dead-end politics with ad campaigns for a lost golden age. As often as not the nostalgic sales pitch (city upon a hill, amber waves of grain, majestic purple mountains) is the contrivance of a reactionary status quo floating the speculation on a redeeming tomorrow with subprime borrowings from an imaginary yesterday.”

Lewis H. Lapham
