"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."

Yes, he was.  It's a little after 7pm here, and Christy Swanson (a small-business owner) is speaking.

Carly Fiorina's up next.  I can't wait to hear what she has to say.  She laid into some a**hole reporters earlier today... it was beautiful.

I must have missed that.  Was she referring to pollution?

I believe so. She was talking about all the things McCain would do, and that was one of things she mentioned.

I heard he did not want one... but I do hope there is a place for him on McCain's cabinet.
