Power runs with ideas that only the crazy would draw into doubt.

There is nothing more dangerous than a government of the many controlled by the few.

A culture without property, or in which creators can't get paid, is anarchy, not freedom.

Some blame the drug companies. I don't. They are corporations. Their managers are ordered by law to make money for the corporation. They push a certain patent policy not because of ideals,but because it is the policy that makes them the most money. And it only makes them the most money because of a certain corruption within our political system-a corruption the drug companies are certainly not responsible for. The corruption is our own politicians' failure of integrity.

Before the monopoly should be permitted, there must be reason to believe it will do some good - for society, and not just for monopoly holders.
