"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force." - Ayn Rand
I find that Atlas Shrugged, 1984, and Harrison Bergeron have unfortunate applicability in today's world.
ReplyDeleteEven though Ayn Rand is a bit extreme in her political views, I have to admit... there's something to be said for what she said (how deep is THAT?).
