To say that a writer's hold on reality is tenuous is an understatement-it's like saying the Titanic had a rough crossing.

And for the past century it's been in direct conflict with its illegitimate offspring, Communism (again with a capital C). Both ask the individual to sacrifice his self-interest to the higher goals of the organization.
