"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."

Eeek. That kinda thing would have helped a smarter person. One would think. I thought the "answers" post was just another guessing post. Apparently my mutant super power is the ability to read much faster than I can comprehend. Otherwise I might have realised Mr Mann was The Man.
