More on The System

"Economic power is exercised by means of a
positive, by offering men a reward, an incentive,
a payment, a value; political power is exercised
by means of a negative, by the threat of
punishment, injury, imprisonment, destruction.
The businessman's tool is values; the
bureaucrat's tool is fear." -- Ayn Rand

In today's world, values and fear have been so
entwined that not one in a thousand can see which
is which, even if they knew the difference.

The System is All and one can only wonder which
act of the tragicomedy is playing.
