| Coronary Capitalism Lindsay Kaplan |
"You have such a crush." "I do! It's terrible. And he's such an asshole... all the more to like about him." "Assholes are fun." "Always." "Think about it: America is all about getting what you want fast and efficiently." "And that's what they do? Get what they want?" "No, love isn't a good or a service. And if you want it and can't have it, it just makes you want it more because you expect it. Because America has taught you that if you work at it hard enough, you'll get what you want out of life. Love isn't as simple as supply or demand, even though we expect it to be." "Yes! Global capitalism!" "I just thought that up, and it sounded very smart. I'm going to have to write that one down." "That was absolutely brilliant." "Global capitalism has infested your heart." "And I don't deny it." |
