Not that I would ever engage in it, as a business, for I wouldnt. No sound and legitimate business can be established on a basis of speculation. A successful whirl in the knighterrantry linenow what is it when you blow away the nonsense and come down to the cold facts? Its just a corner in pork, thats all.” “Home? I have no home. Hunted, despised, living like an animal. The jungle is my home. But I will show the world that I can be its master. I will perfect my own race of people, a race of atomic supermen, which will conquer the world.” “The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people dont acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.” |
