Do you know what sums up the dark side of capitalism perfectly? A Banks steps on a cold night occupied by a homeless lady. That's what I saw tonight and it hit me. The sheer juxtaposition pushed home the level of inequality we see daily and walk past... Thought of Marx " There's something rotten at the core of a society that increases its wealth without diminishing its misery" and believe me I'm no ****** but it was eerie. To put it simply I worry for and care about humanity.
