The 1970s

"All of the legislation in the world can't fix what's wrong with America.  It is a crisis in confidence.  It is a crisis that strikes at the very heart, soul, and spirit of a national will ... and it is threatening to destroy the social and political fabric of America."

The use of counting and numbers, of calculating and figuring, propelled a tendency toward rationalization in human thought that shows in no human culture without the use of money. Money did not make people smarter; it made them think in new ways, in numbers and their equivalencies. It made thinking far less personalized and much more abstract."

"long after the Pope is gone, you'll remember this."
