Kevin quoted The Bezzle by Cory Doctorow (Martin Hench, #2)
Sherman said, 'If we will not endure a king as a political power, we should not endure a king over the production, transportation, and sale of any of the necessaries of life. If we would not submit to an emperor we should not submit to an autocrat of trade with power to prevent competition and to fix the price of any commodity.'
