Things I Could Do Without
~ by Jay

So Elizabeth Warren said something wonderful, which no doubt you've already heard.
"There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody,” Warren said. “You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear: You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You built a factory, and it turned into something terrific or a great idea: God bless. Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”
I love it. Other people do not. One of them created this response


Right. Because women's sexuality is a market commodity, sold to men, and rape is exactly the same thing as paying taxes for road construction and education.

Some days I really, really don't like people.
