QUOTE: LANGUAGE, STORY, WAYS OF KNOWING: - #3

“The society (I prefer the term geography) of human discourse has narrowed from human/other-than-human to human/human. The other-than-human persons, both animal and plant, have been disenfranchised – defined or spoken out of discourse into dumb brutes or unconscious vegetable matter, each depersonalized by man the cosmic orator, the name-caller.”
