Nations that claim to be your enemies are absolutely serious. Nations that claim to be your friends are really only kidding. Every society not in upheaval is quietly decaying. If governments set prices too low, scarcity results. If governments set prices too high, a glut and a crash result.
Governments never set prices at the right level.
Promiscuity is dangerous. Everything falls apart. The king is a fink. When men cease to be religious, they do not believe nothing, they believe anything. G.K. Chesterton 18.
