Happy Birthday, Ron Paul!
Capitalism should not be condemned, since we haven’t had capitalism. A
system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by
a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest
rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central
bank. It’s not capitalism when the system is plagued with
incomprehensible rules regarding mergers, acquisitions, and stock sales,
along with wage controls, price controls, protectionism, corporate
subsidies, international management of trade, complex and punishing
corporate taxes, privileged government contracts to the
military-industrial complex, and a foreign policy controlled by
corporate interests and overseas investments. Add to this centralized
federal mismanagement of farming, education, medicine, insurance,
banking and welfare. This is not capitalism!

H.P Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937)
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of
infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences,
each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but
some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up
such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position
therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from
the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
