"The oil industry is being destroyed by a bombardment of paper—of governmental rules, regulations, directive, edicts, commands—any one of which is as intelligible and exciting as the small print in an insurance policy. . . But that bombardment is more effective than other kinds of air raids: it blasts your power stations, extinguishes your lights, freezes your homes, stops your motors, locks your factories, wipes out your jobs and leaves a barren land on which nothing will grow."

—Ayn Rand, The Ayn Rand Letter, vol. 3, no. 3, Nov. 5, 1973
