There was a curious juxtaposition yesterday evening when CNN aired a program showing Detroit's deterioration followed by India's economic woes of inflation. All of this while I was re-reading Atlas Shrugged where the mother of Hank Rearden of Rearden Steel is begging for a job for her other son and Hank turned her down because he was worthless...and the People's Republic of Mexico had just nationalized a worthless copper mine.
She said "If you loved your brother, you'd give him a job he didn't deserve, precisely because he didn't deserve it - that would be true love and kindness and brotherhood. Else what is love for? If a man deserves a job, there is no virtue in giving it to him. Virtue is the giving of the undeserved."
This is true moral bankruptcy!
