Quote #10
If you who own the things people must have could understand this, you might preserve yourself. If you could separate causes from results, if you could know that Paine, Marx, Jefferson, Lenin, were results, not causes, you might survive. But that you cannot know. For the quality of owning freezes you forever into "I," and cuts you off forever from the "we." (14.4)
We readers are cut off from the people who own things. We never get to meet (in person, face-to-fact) the landowners or the bankers. They exist in their own bubble, a bubble to which we do not have access.
