(We haven’t heard from Ayn in quite a while . . . as you all have not heard from thee.  A thousand pardons.  First opportunity to use a computer since last Thursday.  No guarantee as to when I’ll post again.  But, you’ll likely hear from me on Thursday the 17th.  Be good, do good, friends.)   — YUR

“The upper classes are merely a nation’s past; the middle class is its future.”   — Ayn Rand

(The big banks, health care insurance companies, the pharmaceutical industry, hospital/medical field, and most of the rest of corporate America have been squeezing the middle class, so hard, and for so long, that maybe we should be bringing them up on charges of treason.(?)  They are jeopardizing our future as a nation.  Oh!  And, let’s not forget their enablers, our own Supreme Court.  Well, at least five of them.) —   YUR
