False hope is worse than despair.

We know that segregation is evil. We know that the sickest children should not go to the worst hospitals.

The recklessness with which we sacrifice our sense of decency to maximize profit in the factory farming process sets a pattern for cruelty to our own kind.

The answers I remember longest are the ones that answer questions that I didn't think of asking.

There is something deeply hypocritical in a society that holds an inner-city child only eight years old "accountable" for her performance on a high-stakes standardized exam but does not hold the high officials of our government accountable for robbing her of what they gave their own kids six or seven years before.

I beg people not to accept the seasonal ritual of well-timed charity on Christmas Eve. It's blasphemy.

Racial segregation has come back to public education with a vengeance.
