Our Radical Quote of the Month:

Just for a fun plot twist:
The "disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful, and to despise, or, at least, to neglect persons of poor and mean condition...is...the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments." -Adam Smith

Happy Birthday
