      . . . also this by Any Rand, "The most profoundly revolutionary achievement of the United States of America was the subordination of society to moral law.

      "The principle of man’s individual rights represented the extension of morality into the social system — as a limitation on the power of the state, as man’s protection against the brute force of the collective, as the subordination of might to right."

      My point is to remind everyone that without universal support of the Constitution, man’s protection against the brute force of the collective, will be lost.
