quote of the, err... season
"...medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing but medicine on large scale."
-Rudolf Virchow
This is interesting for me, since I'm in the process of reframing the liberation ecology project in terms of social and ecological health, rather than justice and sustainability.
I don't know what text this came from, since I pulled it second-hand from an essay by James McManus on the criminalization of stem-cell research, "Please Stand By While the Age of Miracles is Briefly Suspended."
There is a sweet wikipedia page on Virchow. It sounds like he was the Paul Farmer of the nineteenth century.
Oh - I posted a position paper on my slowly-forming website www.liberationecology.org. It's big and awkward for the format - I don't yet know how to do basic things like make it available for download or put it in a separate page. I'll figure it out. There's only so many hours in the day.
