Mandatory You Tube Lectures
If you ask me to name the proudest distinction of Americans, I would choose- because it contains all the others- the fact that they were the people who created the phrase to make money. No other language or nation had ever used these words before; men had always thought of wealth as a static quantity- to be seized, begged, inherited, shared, looted or obtained as a favor. Americans were the first to understand that wealth has to be created
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live

Um... do you have a point?

It was nice to "hear" her philosophy instead of reading it. There is no doubt that at the time she was on that show, the US was in an era whose agenda is still being pushed by the baby-boomers today. It was nice to hear her come out against the "movement" at the time.
