A writer must “know and have an ever-present consciousness that this world is a world of fools and rogues… tormented with envy, consumed with vanity; selfish, false, cruel, cursed with illusions… He should free himself of all doctrines, theories, etiquettes, politics…” —Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?). “The nobility of the writer's occupation lies in resisting oppression, thus in accepting isolation” —Albert Camus (1913-1960). “What are you gonna do” —Bertha Brown (1895-1987).
"John Arnold is an Enron-billionaire who has spent up to $50 million of his own fortune on a nationwide effort to gut retirement security.

Arnold funds ballot initiatives, tainted anti-pension research, lobbying efforts, and the campaign coffers of anti-pension politicians."
