Quicquid Venus imperat
Labor est suavis,
quę nunquam in cordibus
habitat ignavis.
--
Whatsoever Venus bids Is a joy excelling, Never in an evil heart Did she make her dwelling.

Venus, take my votive glass;
Since I am not what I was,
What from this day I shall be,
Venus, let me never see.

The intern had also discovered a vague little article from the late Sixties saying that Basco had put some "junk machinery" on the floor of the Harbor, giving the usual feeble excuse.
"They claim that this junk was going to become a habitat for marine life. You don't buy that?"
Bless her, she did know how to blow my lid. "Rebecca, goddamnit, since the beginning of time, every corporation that has ever thrown any of its shit into the ocean has claimed that it was going to become a habitat for marine life.

Ira furor brevis est: animum rege: qui nisi paret imperat.

 

Horace

 

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. Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other rights. Nor is it denied that there is, and probably always will be, a relation between labor and capital producing mutual benefits. The error is in assuming that the whole labor of community exists within that relation.
