The two problems which have caused the greatest trouble since the war ended have been transportation and coal. The government seized both industries when the war broke out. It got them into such a hopeless mess that it does not know how to turn [In] coal; the government now realizes, it took hold of the tail of a wild animal and is afraid to let go.”

And then you can begin to let go of all the bullshit that leads into things like world wars, racism, stereotypes, and bigotry.”
