Democracy begins in human conversation. A democratic conversation does not require elaborate rules of procedure or utopian notions of perfect consensus. What it does require is a spirit of mutual respect-people conversing critically with one another in an atmosphere of honesty and shared regard.
William Greider
Image
In 1900 Americans on average lived for only 49 years and most working people died still on the job.

The present struggle seems less about abolishing big government than about who gets to use it.
William Greider
Image
