Tirei meu filho de lá rápido antes que fosse tarde demais e fui embora o mais rápido que deu. Cheguei em casa, de noite, dando aquela navegada na internet, nada melhor que ler uma Ayn Rand para dar uma higienizada mental:
"I can say--not as a patriotic bromide, but with full knowledge of the necessary metaphysical, epistemological, ethical, political and esthetic roots--that the United States of America is the greatest, the noblest and, in its original founding principles, the only moral country in the history of the world."Isso vindo de Ayn Rand - uma judia nascida em São Petersburgo, fugitiva dos comunistas que adotou os EUA como nação. Quer mais?
"[The Native Americans] didn't have any rights to the land and there was no reason for anyone to grant them rights which they had not conceived and were not using.... What was it they were fighting for, if they opposed white men on this continent? For their wish to continue a primitive existence, their "right" to keep part of the earth untouched, unused and not even as property, just keep everybody out so that you will live practically like an animal, or maybe a few caves above it. Any white person who brought the element of civilization had the right to take over this continent."Ah, delícia. Vou dormir agora e sonhar com um mundo que só tem gente que pensa assim.
P.S.: Atlas Shrugged está fazendo 50 anos. Não li, mas está na lista.
