My friend J. recently introduced me to the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks...only available in the fall. This morning I picked one up on the way to work (this is my marathon day--a full day of work followed by nearly 3 hours of class ). The quote printed on my cup was one that struck me:
Starbucks: The Way I See It #178
"The measure of genuine civilization, it has been said, is the quality of life for a nation's poorest and least privileged people. By that measure, we are barbarians. Our current level of inequality cannot be justified or sustained."
