Parking Lot

• Saw this quote on an Apple vs. some other phone debate, but I think it says a lot: "Economic growth and prosperity are spiritual phenomena. Statists think it is material and think it is just a matter of stealing and shifting material/wealth/money around. They thnk they can steal and then trickle down wealth(after they take their generous cut). Wealth springs up from purposeful individual action that springs from spirit, i.e., dreams, vision, ambition, etc."
• “Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received — hatred. The great creators — the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors — stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won.” - Ayn Rand todo: add cite
