Robert Wyatt Quotes
I think there are deep structural things that are wrong in the world. The US is the Western empire of the 19th century regrouping in the 20th, not out of wickedness, but because everybody else in Eurasia was so completely destroyed by the Second World War.

The problem is due to what the business community wants, which is to make as much money as they can out of what other people do and pay as little as possible for it.
