“I was raised the old-fashioned way, with a stern set of moral principles: Never lie, cheat, steal, or knowingly spread a venereal disease.

#QuoteOfTheDay: #BarbaraEhrenreich

Please, no more talk of companies "giving" people jobs. In reality, the gift relationship goes in the opposite direction.

"Na cidade, o crime é um símbolo de classe e raça. Mas nos subúrbios é íntimo e psicológico, resistente a generalizações, um mistério da alma individual."
