Quote:You could remake the Shawshank Redemption set in modern times instead of the 30s and it would be the exact same film with one exception: in the end the warden/production manager wouldn't kill himself, he wouldn't go to jail.He'd be promoted or he would simply slip through the revolving door into the public sector with a cushy corner office in an old stone building in downtown Washington.
Because in America we don't see what he did as wrong anymore. It's just business. "What are you? Anti-business?"
The corporate model when applied to public education kills it.
The corporate model when applied to healthcare kills it.
The corporate model when applied to government kills it.
The corporate model when applied to the military kills it… and many, many other collateral victims and soldiers as well.
And the corporate model, when applied to the corrections system, turns men and women disaffected from society by other corporate models, into slaves. By design.
Hallelujah!

The last words of the last Inka, Tupac Amaru, led to the gallows by men of god & dogs of war
