...blue-collar worker (railroad) who is truly thankful for the countless blessings that I have. I grieve, however, at the greed and selfishness that labor unions are displaying while doing such great harm to those they represent, to say nothing of the forgotten Americans on pensions that are static. I certainly am not going to "Buy American" simply to satisfy the unions' endless greed and penalize myself in quality and value to do so. Indeed, my only consideration will be the best buy for the money. This, I believe, is the American...
...that show it was just as tempting to an insect as it will be delicious and life-giving to me. But that kind of apple is neither cheap nor easy to buy. I wouldn't care so damned much about these food mutations and experiments if corporate greed were not using them to force the real thing off the market.

He forged a link between every human being by reminding us that for better or for worse, we are all stuck with our foolish, fumbling selves. Some of Rogers' humor has a peculiarly pertinent contemporaneity as when he chides the Federal Government for its ignoble abuse...
...history that compels the reader to keep turning the pages of his diary. It is his obsessive imagination of disaster, his specific visions of decay. Even in the mid-'30s, Reck saw Hitler as the culmination of an age of pseudorationalism that would destroy itself with its own greed, stupidity and madness. His pages are full of fleeting evidence: workers lined up in front of bordellos in broad daylight, language corrupted beyond nonsense, people bombed into insanity carrying their dead children in suitcases from city to city...
