Oh, minor things like the fact that capitalism really does make an entire society wealthier, including the poor; that people aren't poor because other people are evil bigots; that cops really do care about the people they serve, they aren't just armed bigoted thugs on power trips; that the problem with socialism and welfare statism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money; that sort of thing.

Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without.
