Klaser, I agree, when an individual's or nation's desire for prestige becomes uncontrollable, whether in the sewing circle or at the international conference table, other people suffer and often REVOLT. This collision of instincts (wills) can produce anything from a cold snub to a blazing REVOLUTION. In these ways we are set in conflict not only with ourselves, but with other people who have instincts (wills) too. Men and women who go power-mad, who devote themselves to attempting to rule their fellow human beings becomes a battleground for the instincts (wills), there can be no peace....

JEFFERSON "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." "The earth belongs to the living, not to the dead." "To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. " "We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country." CHESTERTON "Government has become ungovernable; that is, it cannot leave off governing. Law has become lawless; that is, it cannot see where laws should stop. The chief feature of our time is the meekness of the mob and the madness of the government." AYN RAND "When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed." They do not want to own your fortune, they want you to lose it; they do not want to succeed, they want you to fail; they do not want to live, they want you to die; they desire nothing, they hate existence, and they keep running, each trying not to learn that the object of his hatred is himself."
