That's right, the liberal idea was to confiscate the $300 per person, or $600
per couple, despite the fact that there was no legitimate reason to perpetrate
this extortion to begin with.. The point Lee had made was that distributing
millions of dollars to billions of people would cost more than the value of
the money.

Useless hypotheses, etc.:
consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
analog computing, cultural relativism, GAC, Cyc, Eliza, cryonics, individual
uniqueness, ego
Everything that can happen has already happened, not just once,
but an infinite number of times, and will continue to do so forever.
(Everything that can happen = more than anyone can imagine.)
We won't move into a better future until we debunk religiosity, the most
regressive force now operating in society.
