"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force."
-- Ayn Rand (1905-1982) Добро пожаловать в Народную Республику Мэриленд, пожалуйста, ваши права капитуляции перед входом!
