Quote of the Day

I presume anyone reading this has heard of Abraham Lincoln. I thought this was a striking quote from him (in his 1861 Annual Address to Congress), especially in light of the current debate over the Employee Free Choice Act, which would make it somewhat easier for workers to choose to join a union (which is generally opposed by employers):

"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital.
Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never
have existed if labor had not first existed.
Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves
much the higher consideration"
