The Root of All Evil

Now sit in your chair for a moment. Can you hear them? The wailing cries from Weimar, Argentina, Imperial Russia, Zimbabwe?

Can you hear the cries of our deceased ancestors? The ones who worked for fourteen hours in the factories and coal mines for seven dollars a week?

They all, in different languages, in different times, ask the same question: how could we have let it come to this?

And what is "this"?

Stay awake and pay attention.
