More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

As for slavery, there is no need for me to speak of its bad aspects. the only thing requiring explanation is the good side of slavery. i do not mean indirect slavery, the slavery of proletariat; i mean direct slavery, the slavery of the blacks in surinam, in brazil, in the southern regions of north america. direct slavery is as much the pivot upon which our present-day industrialism turns as are machinery, credit, etc. … slavery is therefore an economic category of paramount importance.

Nor do i think we came from monkeys, by the waythat's another piece of garbage. what the hell's it based on? we couldn't've come from anything-fish, maybe, but not monkeys. i don't believe in the evolution of fish to monkeys to men. why aren't monkeys changing into men now? it's absolute garbage. it's absolutely irrational garbage, as mad as the ones who believe the world was made only four thousand years ago, the fundamentalists.

He was having more fun than a barrelful of monkeys.* *several years earlier spider had actually been tremendously disappointed by a barrelful of monkeys. it had done nothing he had considered particularly entertaining, apart from emit interesting noises, and eventually, once the noises had stopped and the monkeys were no longer doing anything at all—except possibly on an organic level—had needed to be disposed of in the dead of night.

Your ancestors fought for you to have a share in that institution over there. it's yours. see the school board, and every friday night hold your meetings there. have your wives clean it up saturday morning for the children to enter monday. your organization is not a praying institution. it's a fighting institution. it's an educational institution along industrial lines. pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!

There are three ways in which a man becomes a slave. he may be born into slavery, or forced into it, or he can deliberately accept his servitude. all three forms flourish in the modern world. men are born and forced into slavery in russia and her satellites states. men in the free world invite slavery when they ask the government to provide complete security, when they surrender their freedom to the "welfare state."
