"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."
-- Dr. Ferris in Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
Thank you for posting that. There are many detractors of Ayn Rand on this website, but one cannot argue with her perception decades ago of where things were going.
I was looking for that quote just the other night, so I am glad you posted it.
Whoever controls the language, the images, controls the race.
- Allen Ginsberg
