| One of my favorite quotations comes from Thomas Pynchon: "if they can get you asking the wrong questions,
they don't have to worry about answers." Our world is in the mess it is in today because most of us have
internalized the fine art of asking the wrong questions. Contrary to the thinking that would have us believe that
the conflict, violence, tyranny, and destructiveness that permeates modern society is the result of "bad" or
"hateful" people, disparities in wealth, or lack of education, all of our social problems are the direct
consequence of a general failure to respect the inviolability of one another's property interests! |
