Agreed it probably won't happen in the schools. But I'm preaching at everybody I do business with, socialize with, or any other contact which affords me the chance to convert the unaware.

We seem to have slipped into a class-like society. The people who perceive themselves as the "have-nots" see the "haves" as the enemy. I never did see the benefit in that. I have been as "have-not" as anyone could ever be (Many zeros on the wrong side of the equation). I have had to worry about utilities being shut off, having my car repo'd, etc. etc. Even at that young age, I never envied the "haves". In fact, I sought them out. I bought them lunch (had to borrow the bucks first sometimes!). I hoped that some of their knowledge and insight would rub off.

Now that I find myself in the "haves", I understand why the people I sought out took the time to talk/mentor me. It is so gratifying to see someone finally "get it", especially when their previous philosophy was quite socialist.

What I find amusing too is that the Robin Hood legend is always depicted as "Robbing from the rich and giving to the poor", when in fact Robin Hood took back from a tyrannical government which over taxed it's citizenry and returned the loot to those who produced it.

Who is John Galt!!!!!!
