so i am reading the book called what's the matter with kansas? by thomas frank. and i'm only in the second chapter but it has proved to be very interesting. in the first chapter he talks about 'the two nations'. how america has divided into the red state/blue state nation. red state being the consevatives and the blue being the liberals.
there was a quote that i just had to share. mr frank is talking about class seperation and he quotes dos passos from the american enterprise magazine. mr passos says "class-consciousness isn't a problem in Red America," he assures them; people are "perfectly happy to be slightly overweight [and] a little underpaid."
i just had to share that. for all my 'red state' friends would you agree with this?
