A visit to an inverted planet

- The police exist in order to protect the police from the public.
- The society exists to serve the needs of business.
- Money is speech but speech isn't money.
- A business is a person with rights but people are employees with no rights.
- Poor people exploit the rich.
- A burning building causes more outrage than a needlessly dead 12-year old kid.
- "I was in fear' is justification for stalking, confronting and shooting an unarmed person to death.
- A hero is one who is cynically exploited in a war based on lies.
- The Creator is one to whom you apply for a job.
