Rockefeller in particular focused his social services on birth control to reduce overpopulation because he saw little value in human life at the bottom of society. That's pretty interesting. Being European, I don't know much about US indu

There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible f
