A Red Dawn in New Yorkistan...

 

"Do you know the hallmark of a second-rater? It is resentment of another man's achievement. Those touchy mediocrities who sit trembling lest someone's work prove greater than their own ...They bare their teeth at you from out of their ratholes, thinking that you take pleasure in letting your brilliance dim them...They envy achievement and their dream of greatness is a world where all men have become acknowledged failures..." - Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged"
