Ayn Rand hit it correctly, make enough laws and you can turn EVERYONE into a criminal.
I have more hope now than I have had in 40 years. President Trump seems to keep pulling victory after victory from the swampy mess.
Perhaps he is a Machiavellian Prince that will do what is necessary to save the Republic.
Yes, Ms Rand was very perceptive in her writings of over half a century ago.
She has to take her place in history with Jules Verne, Chester Gould, Al Capp and a handful of others that basically foresaw the future and had the ‘courage’ to publish and spur it along
Very few among ‘us’ could foresee Dick Tracy and his wrist radio, Nuclear Submarines etc etc etc
Al Capp also pointed out what a politicized society would look like with the likes of Moonbeam McSwine/Sadie Hawkins (feminist movement) the Shmoos, (Johnsons great society as the shmos would just reproduce themselves in whatever YOU wanted as a ‘good government’ should)
