“All of America's institutions have become too big to change.  Like sumo wrestlers in a basketball game, they move too slow.”

Paul Glover (1947) Community organizer in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; American politician

Context: “All of America's institutions have become too big to change.  Like sumo wrestlers in a basketball game, they move too slow.  Big Government, Big Oil, Big Insurance, Big Finance, Big Agriculture, Big Highway, Big Education, Big Military, Big Prison, Big Police, Big Poverty-- these feed on disaster and control.  They no longer exist primarily to fix problems, but to grow.”
