More From P. J. O'Rourke

The city grows like a cancer; i must grow like a sun. the city eats deeper and deeper into the red; it is an insatiable white louse which must die eventually of inanition. i am going to starve the white louse which is eating me up. i am going to die as a city in order to become again a man. therefore i close my ears, my eyes, my mouth.

If the nation can issue a dollar bond it can issue a dollar bill. the element that makes the bond good makes the bill good also. the difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the money broker collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%. whereas the currency, the honest sort provided by the constitution pays nobody but those who contribute in some useful way. it is absurd to say our country can issue bonds and cannot issue currency. both are promises to pay, but one fattens the usurer and the other helps the people.

The value of a dollar is to buy just things; a dollar goes on increasing in value with all the genius and all the virtue of the world. a dollar in a university is worth more than a dollar in a jail; in a temperate, schooled, law-abiding community than in some sink of crime, where dice, knives, and arsenic are in constant play.
