Thanks for the Bork quotes. Saved to disk.

There is a gang of wall-painters at the house where I am currently working who listen to the most awful crap on the radio each day; It's just loud screaming and nasal wailing set to pounding drums, crashing cymbals and raging electric guitars. Today I'm going to have to cut their power off.

"A peculiarity of certain types of asphyxiation - such as death from carbon monoxide - is that the victims do not notice it: the fumes leave them no awareness of their need of fresh air. The specific symptom of value-deprivation is a gradual lowering of one’s expectations. We have already absorbed so much of our cultural fumes that we take the constant pressure of irrationality, injustice, corruption and hooligan tactics for granted, as if nothing better could be expected of life."
--Ayn Rand, Our Cultural Value-Deprivation, from a lecture at The Ford Hall Forum, Boston, on April 10, 1966
