3. R.I.P. Immanuel Kant - how soon we've forgotten.

"Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, always at the same time as an end and never merely as a means."

The objectification of human beings - whether in the commoditization of human labor or the objectification through sexism, racism, or ageism - is a plague upon this continent.

4. A green fucking plague!

5. I hate all that corpora-speak.

Personnel became "human resources"

Salespeople are now "associates"

brokers are now "financial advisors"


I am SO FUCKING SICK OF SPIN AND PR of EVERY DAMN THING.

Call things what they ARE dammit!
