“The air is full of plans, and of pacts and proposals.  Every wind that blows through press and air carries patterns for new leagues, Federal Unions, Spheres of Influence, and Hemisphere Controls, each of which is spread out on the bargain counter of the world, and offered at a price so cheap as to require only a little manipulation of politics and economics-but never a change of heart.  Are we not still suffering from a mental “hangover” from the days of liberalism and the doctrine of the natural goodness of men?  Does not the enthusiastic and fulsome praise we give to every three-hundred-word generalization prove that all we think the world needs is a few structural changes?”     Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Seven Pillars of Peace)
