Jane Jacobs Running Quotations

Privately run jails are a mark of American "reinvented government" that has been picked up by neoconcervatives in Canada.

My mother used to say when we were children, 'When a boy gets a stick in his hand, his brains run out the other end of it.' Power is a stick in the hand, and I have never heard of anybody who wielded a very big stick of power whose brains did not run out the other end. As a nation, our brains are running out the other end of our power right now.
