Oh this statement tickle my brain. Yet, it only captures the essense of the bigger problem we have.

Common Core will ensure the next generation lives that statement. Remember, with CC, what you know doesn't matter anymore, it's how you feel. (facepalm)

Those words could have also been uttered by Homer Simpson.

I agree with that. Ironically, no matter how good something sounds, you cannot overcome human nature with Utopian ideals.

One reason why I appreciate the concept Ayn Rand talked about. "Rational Self-Interest."

Too many ignore the "Rational" part and assume greed. Objectively, and in a perfect world with all perfect people, no crime, and everyone without exception striving to be the best they can be, these Utopian ideals, especially the Socialism and Communism ideal would probably work. Although if we were all perfect, looking to harm no one for any reason, and only benefit everyone, we would need no government, or laws at all. And when you think about it, that would lead to a perfect Capitalist society where we barter value for value, where nobody is coerced into anything.
