Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

By Rand's measure, we are an utter failure - losing our sight on what we were founded on, ruled by said savages. Thanks for quoting her!
My pleasure, LCR. She was truly insightful.
She was instrumental in a lot of ways to the things that I am now politically. RIP Ayn Rand, she will live forever in the hearts of those that cherish freedom and the individual....
I hope to one day be able to have time to read "Atlas Shrugged". Right now, I'd have to read the Cliff Notes. She got it.
