In a classroom somewhere in the past, a teacher made an imaginary line between one half of the desks and the other. Then, turning those desks to face inward, she asked her students to choose a side to sit on for a class debate: communism vs. capitalism. When I was in school, it was usually divided about 70-30, in favor of communism; the children of liberal parents to one side and the children of conservative parents to the other.

“Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force.
