Quote of the Day

"The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. 

It is not, as poverty was before, 

the result of natural scarcity, 

but of a set of priorities 

imposed upon the rest of the world 

by the rich. 

Consequently, 

the modern poor are not pitied... 

but written off as trash. 

The twentieth-century consumer economy 

has produced the first culture 

for which a beggar 

is a reminder of nothing."

 ~ John Berger
