Each pursues his private interest and only his private interest; and thereby serves the private interests of all, the general interest, without willing it or knowing it. the real point is not that each individual's pursuit of his private interest promotes the totality of private interests, the general interest. one could just as well deduce from this abstract phrase that each individual reciprocally blocks the assertion of the others' interests, so that, instead of a general affirmation, this war of all against all produces a general negation.

Even republicans seem to think that these undocumented democrats could be made [gop] voters...and what happens is that two out every three that would be legalized [and] become democrats. and it's not 12 million. it's more like 20 million...but it isn't just the equation of 2/3 of over 20 million that will vote for the guy who opposes our conservative candidate whoever that might be, but it's also those who will leave us if we fail them...we have to go back and tie together and restore the pillars of american exceptionalism and the rule of law is essential.
