Modern socialism really means the government takes both cows and butchers them takes all the prime cuts for themselves and divides the rest up among every one then when there are no more cows they borrow cows from other countries.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
