Alfie KohnA reminder during this holiday season, courtesy of the late Barbara Ehrenreich, about the "major philanthropists of our society."
James Widman@alfiekohn related: before eating a meal, people should consider expressing appreciation for the people who planted, harvested, transported, shelved, & prepared all the food.
this is better than giving thanks to an authoritarian god, which only serves to get people in the habit of going along with authoritarianism (and consequently human authority figures). The effect of that version of "grace" is not at all supernatural, but it is 100% political, and there are political stakes.
