I didn't - Taken from "The Hoffmann Report:

"It's a great responsibility," said Eugene Lawson, "to hold the decision of life or death over thousands of people and to sacrifice them when necessary, but we must have the courage to do it. In time of national peril, it is your duty to serve, suffer and work for the salvation of the country! You have to make certain sacrifices to the public welfare!" (pp. 870, 902) "For instance, in view of the desperate shortage of food, it has been suggested that it might become necessary to issue a directive ordering that every third one of all children under the age of ten and all adults over the age of sixty be put to death, to secure the survival of the rest..." (p. 1024) Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

Interesting reading.
