"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."
"But we will all be taken down with it."

We had a huge amount of dumpstered bread. According to Tarek it was still warm when he found it, and it tasted very good. But there was so much so we took the leftovers to DC Central Kitchen which was right next door.
The woman who took the food started writing out a receipt. Quasim told her that we didn't need one. She asked if we were sure. I concurred that we didn't need one. We just wanted rid of the food. But she seemed confused. Writing receipts must be part of the procedure. So we let her write one out.
I watched her as she wrote. "9-18" she scratched in on the "date" line. That was the first time that day that I'd thought about the date in a way separate from the event and thus the first time that day that I'd realized it was my birthday.
