More From Marian Wright Edelman

Relationship is action, is it not? action has meaning only in relationship; without understanding relationship, action on any level will only breed conflict. the understanding of relationship is infinitely more important than the search for any plan of action. the ideology, the pattern for action, prevents action. action based on ideology hinders the understanding of relationship between man and man.
Understanding Levels Action
Once the law, properly enacted, is routinely ignored, and ignored with the blessing and the promotion of the political class, then you have a breakdown of organized society. and there is nothing compassionate about what's happening to the people of arizona. there is nothing compassionate about the violation of private property rights. there is nothing compassionate about the abuse of the taxpayer. there is nothing compassionate about the closing of schools and hospitals. nothing at all compassionate about increased drug trafficking and crime. nothing compassionate about that at all.
School Blessing Rights
Every work of art (unless it is a psuedo-intellectualist work, a work already comprised in some ideology that it merely illustrates, as with brecht) is outside ideology, is not reducible to ideology. ideology circumscribes without penetrating it. the absence of ideology in a work does not mean an absence of ideas; on the contrary it fertilizes them.
Art Mean Ideas
I think ideology is toxic, all ideology. it's not that there are good ones and bad ones. all ideology is toxic, because ideology is a kind of insult to the gift of human free thinking.
Life Thinking Toxic
Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. greed is right. greed works. greed clarifies and cuts through to the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
Money Cutting Essence
