I would probably quit but I WON'T GIVE THESE B@STARDS THE SATISFACTION. And I'll probably buy them on the black market. Don't blame me for terrorism. Let them do something about the damn border and the damn dope. Then they can talk.

Makes sense, I'll just get sick and maybe die, but I'll show 'em! That'll fix 'em!

And I'll probably buy them on the black market.

That will be very popular soon.

Let them do something about the damn border and the damn dope.

What do you suggest?

Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We *want* them broken. You'd better get it straight That it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against then you'll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We're after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it.

There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."
