Quote Of The Day

Macho, manic productionism relies on force, it valorises conquest of nature and other humans. It marginalises the means of reproduction – how societies sustain themselves, breathe, give birth, grow and rest, clean up; how people take care, give pleasure and co-operate.

I read that diatribe yesterday. I'm still reeling from the vaccuous today. How the hell did she merit an OBE?

Have you read the self-serving tripe she wrote on CIF when she got the award?
