as a teacher i couldn’t help but think of the education system when i first saw this. failing school? throw money at it! that doesn’t work? take money away! punish them! better yet? privatize it! money is to be our savior. nevermind the outdated and dumb downed curriculum, teaching to the tests, and the general consensus in this country that education is here to indoctrinate and placate, as opposed to liberate. money is to our savior.

And,
Every time a child says, ‘I don’t believe in fairies,’ there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead—Peter Pan
And so, dear children, we must always believe in the absolute value and power of the fairy dust money that keeps our rulers floating high above us …or maybe effin’ NOT.
So brilliant and moving – I think even Joni would approve!
