[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 617501, member: 2189"] I'll look for it! Project Guttenberg didn't show it in the list they had but I'll look again and to my surprise, nothing at googlebooks either. When did he write this and the reason I ask is that just after the civil war he became a republican but in his latter years he became a solid democrat over his fear the republicans were trying to establish a type of monarchy. IMO this has been done but what he may not have counted on was the democrat party helping the efforts along the way. The Presidency has become a power unto itself these days. As to your cynicism of the perversion of the republic? Spot on! Couldn't agree more. The irony that seems to get lost is that the whole concept of corporations are antithetical to free markets and as such in light of the US courts via the 14th amendment making them a legal person with rights, they are again antithetical to a truly free society. Roderick Long, philosophy professor at Auburn University and a self described left libertarian expanded this contrast of [URL="http://www.cato-unbound.org/2008/11/10/roderick-long/corporations-versus-the-market-or-whip-conflation-now/"][COLOR=red]corporations to free markets[/COLOR] [/URL]very well IMO and you might enjoy also. Wendy McElroy presents a [URL="http://www.wendymcelroy.com/news.php?extend.1321"][COLOR=red]simple but eloqent answer[/COLOR] [/URL]that IMO should be given wider discussion (across society, not just here) but it's obvious her ideas threaten both the larger central state and the corp. apparatus that is it's silent partner. Utopian maybe but then so was at one time going to the moon and flying in the air like birds! Take care! :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
