Joe Klein, Why Legalizing Marijuana Makes Sense, (2009) http://www.time.com/time/nation/articles/0,8599,1889021,00.htmlThe U.S. is, by far, the most ‘criminal’ country in the world, with 5% of the world’s population and 25% of its prisoners. We spend $68 billion per year on corrections, and one-third of those being corrected are serving time for nonviolent drug crimes.

Edited by Edward J. Wheeler, Current Opinion, Vol. LXII January - June (The Current Literature Publishing Company, New York, 1917) p. 195.Unblushing materialism finds its crowning triumph in the theory of the modern school. In the whole plan there is not a spiritual thought, not an idea that rises above the need of finding money for the pocket and food for the belly…It is a matter of instant inquiry, for very sober consideration, whether the General Education Board, indeed, may not with the immense funds at its disposal be able to shape to its will practically all the institutions in which the youth of the country are trained.

General Education Board
July 14, 2009 at 07:24 pm by COMMON SENSE; RevisitedQuote under:
General Education Board, Occasional Papers, No. 1 (General Education Board, New York, 1913) p. 6.In our dreams, we have limitless resources and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands. The present education conventions fade from their minds, and unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning, or men of science. We have not to raise up from among them authors, editors, poets or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians nor lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen, of whom we have an ample supply…The task we set before ourselves is very simple as well as a very beautiful one, to train these people as we find them to a perfectly ideal life just where they are. So we will organize our children and teach them to do in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way, in the homes, in the shops and on the farm.

The World's Bank Vol. XXV (Doubleday, Page, & Company, New York, 1913) p. 631.A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated [in the Federal Reserve System]. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men.

Jordan Maxwell, Paul Tice, Rita Dyson, Ralph Walker, Matrix of Power (Book Tree, 2000) p. 16.We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promise of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The super-national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.

Ron Paul, WTO Demands Change in U.S. Tax Laws (2002) http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/paul10.html.It’s hard to imagine a more blatant example of a loss of U.S. sovereignty. Yet there is no outcry or indignation in Congress at this naked demand that we change our laws to satisfy the rest of the world. I’ve yet to see one national politician or media outlet even suggest the obvious, namely that our domestic laws are simply none of the world’s business.

Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal (Signet, 1986) "Extremism," or The Art of Smearing.The goal of the ‘liberals’ — as it emerges from the record of the past decades — was to smuggle this country into welfare statism by means of single, concrete, specific measures, enlarging the power of the government a step at a time, never permitting these steps to be summed up into principles, never permitting their direction to be identified or the basic issue to be named. Thus statism was to come, not by vote or by violence, but by slow rot — by a long process of evasion and epistemlogical corruption, leading to a fait accompli.
