Years ago, I read a book named the "Myth of the Robber Barrons" by an author whose name I've forgotten; I still have that book somewhere and I'll have to dig it out and peruse it again, it's definitely worth a re-read. You should make an effort to find and read a copy, Hound.

The mere fact that something like this can pass without an open and clear airing of all of its contents shows just how dead the republic is, and how little pols. respect their electorate. The fact that Americans aren't up in arms about this and a thousand other transgressions usurping their precious liberty shows how little respect they deserve. Every successful outrage that passes emboldens the next one; I'm afraid we're much too far down the road to stop the inevitable conclusion of all this.
