[Bernard Marx]

I think this piece is brilliant. It summarizes what most of us who think about this stuff feel in our bones but haven't yet clarified into ordered thoughts and words.

This is not a nation where people are left alone anymore. This is a nation where they are hounded from the moment they are born until the moment they die by the arms of a regulatory state run by men and women weaned on Cleaver, Alinsky, Fourier, Marx, Wells and countless others. This is a nation, where accordingly, being left alone is the greatest of luxuries.

And that is why we read people like Greenfield, isn't it? To help us clarify our thoughts.

The only point of difference I have with Greenfield is I would change nation to world. It's not just the USA. In fact, as bad as it is getting, it's probably better than most of the rest of the world.
