The other day, I captured a snap of this boy and shared with you. While talking to him, I inquired about his education and the response he offered was something no less than a shock. I have tried to portray it in this image. I don’t know if it is conveying the message but at least I have tried and now the ball is in your court.

]]> An excerpt from the book, “Power: A New Social Analysis” by Bertrand Russell about the Supreme Court of United States of America and role of Plutocracy. I found it quite interesting and felt like sharing it with you. It may be noted that this book was published in 1938 and do you find it relevant even today? Let’s have a look at it in Russell’s point of view:

In United States at the present day, the reverence which the Greek gave to Oracles and the Middle Ages to the Pope is given to the Supreme Court. Those who have studied the working of American Constitution know that the Supreme Court is part of forces engaged in the protection of the plutocracy. But the men who know this, some are on the side of the plutocracy, and therefore do nothing to weaken the traditional reverence for the Supreme Court, while others are discredited in the eyes of ordinary quiet citizens by being said to be subversive and Bolshevik. A considerable further career of obvious will be necessary before a Luther will be able to attack successfully the authority of the official interpreters of the Constitution.

Bertrand Russell, Power: A New Social Analysis, Page 49-50, George Allen & Unwin (Publishers) Ltd., 1975
