What nobody wants to say about the GOP removal of child labor laws: it isn’t the white kids who will be working the overnight shifts cleaning slaughterhouse equipment with caustic chemicals, it will be brown and black kids. The same unstated reason is why the North Dakota state legislature could deny free school meals to kids, then turn around and vote themselves larger lunch stipends. The kids needing the free lunches are most likely going to be native American kids. Everything with the GOP stems from racism.

Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of non? combustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely `brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with.
