Socialism, when the last word is said, is merely a new economic and political system whereby more men can get food to eat.

E. O. Wilson, the Harvard entomologist and evolutionary biologist, is reputed to have said of socialism: “Great idea. Wrong species.” Any system that is built on a false understanding of human nature is doomed to fail.

Any system that is built on a false understanding of human nature is doomed to fail. Building a society where the primary objective is to protect one’s fragile self-esteem from the dangers of competition will only lead to a society of weakness, entitlement, and apathy.

It has been the scheme of the Christian Church, and of all the other invented systems of religion, to hold man in ignorance of the Creator, as it is of Government to hold man in ignorance of his rights.

I personally never expected anything of Obama, and wrote about it before the 2008 primaries. I thought it was smoke and mirrors […] I don’t usually admire Sarah Palin, but when she was making fun of this ‘hopey changey’ stuff, she was right, there was nothing there. And it was understood by the people who run the political system, and so it’s no great secret that the US electoral system is mainly a public relations extravaganza…it’s sort of a marketing affair.

History is a vast early warning system.

Education is a system of imposed ignorance.
