Clearing away the fog

"The idea that 'the public interest' supersedes
private interests and rights can have but one
meaning: that the interests and rights of some
individuals take precedence over the interests
and rights of others." --Ayn Rand

Many who read this will agree. Then comes a new
'crisis'. They'll soon forget it when a 'call
for action' or 'the new call to arms' emanates
from some twit shouting from an elevated podium.

Really sad shit.
