Be security conscious -- National defense is at stake.

Yes: all men believe and repeat that equality of conditions is identical with equality of rights; that property and robbery are synonymous terms; that every social advantage accorded, or rather usurped, in the name of superior talent or service, is iniquity and extortion. All men in their hearts, I say, bear witness to these truths; they need only to be made to understand it.

-- Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

Behold, the fool saith, "Put not all thine eggs in the one basket"--which is

but a manner of saying, "Scatter your money and your attention;" but the wise

man saith, "Put all your eggs in the one basket and--WATCH THAT BASKET."

The great majority of people have to work in order to earn a livelihood, and a sizable proportion of them are productive workers. A huge number of workers are unproductive as well. They operate entirely with the circumstances and framework created by the capitalist system, such as shuffling invoices, contracts, credit slips, insurance policies, and so forth. Probably nine out of ten "workers" wouldn't have any work to do in a rational society -- one that would not require insurance or any other commercial transactions.

-- Murray Bookchin
