Ludicrous is too weak a word for this heinous crime.

For government to attempt to dictate a 'fair price' betrays complete misunderstanding of the entire process.

The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions.
