"The common denominator of all such gangs is the belief in motion (mass demonstrations), not action—in chanting, not arguing—in demanding, not achieving—in feeling, not thinking—in denouncing 'outsiders,' not in pursuing values ... in seeking to return to 'nature,' to 'the earth,' to the mud, to physical labour, i.e., to all the things which a perceptual mentality is able to handle. You don’t see advocates of reason and science clogging a street in the belief that using their bodies to stop traffic, will solve any problem."~ Ayn Rand, from her article 'The Missing Link'
