Rejecting the Confines of Capitalism


No man can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the one, and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.

Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

- Matthew 6:24




When rich speculators prosper
while farmers lose their land;
when government officials spend money
on weapons instead of cures;
when the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible
while the poor have nowhere to turn
- all this is robbery and chaos.

- Lao-Tzu

(Tao Te Ching 53)
