Quote of the Day

"It's horrible! It's immoral! It's selfish, heartless, ruthless! It's the most vicious speech ever made! It ... it will make people demand to be happy!"

~ Eugene Lawson, Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand), after a radio address by John Galt

Can't have that. Keep 'em pacified with free food, free clothes, EBT cards, free phones, welfare, WIC, free medical clinics ... anything but allow them to think for themselves, or ever figure out that things aren't right.

Let 'em spend their formative years in a government-mandated institution of public education (if you can call it that), and make SURE they don't know enough to figure out that somebody has to pay for all the "free" stuff.

Control the media outlets, and make sure the talking heads only mouth the platitudes approved for public consumption. Discourage free thought, and free speech. Tell them that anyone who remembers why (and upon what) this country was founded is an "enemy."

Whatever you do, DON'T let them think for themselves.

They might not like what's been done to them.



Wait - you thought I was talking about a book?

Quote of the Day

"When force is the standard, the murderer wins over the pickpocket. And then that society vanishes, in a spread of ruins and slaughter.

"Do you wish to know whether that day is coming? Watch money. Money is the barometer of society's virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed.

"... Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men's protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper."

~ Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
