it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--

She's not a person I would have wanted to introduce to my daughter OR, especially, my son--

But the capitalism she was talking about is dead in America, at least in the biggest corporations.

Brilliant!

Amazing how the audience actually sat there and listened. Even Donahue listened. Wouldn't be allowed today.
At the beginning she makes the point that capitalism is a product of individual liberty; so often we hear capitalism defended for being the best for the collective and liberty doesn't get mentioned. Nice to see her smile at the end.

Every day I am astounded at...
