[C. Edmund Wright]

Indeed, but I came across this quote (again) this morning - demonstrating that Dr. Paugh, and all of us, have lost what she wanted…. when you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion….that in order to produce you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing….money flow(s) to those who deal, not in goods-but in favors..when men get richer by graft and pull than by work…..when laws don't protect you from them, but protect them from you….when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice, you may know that your society is doomed. -Ayn Rand

Yup. We doomed currently.
