There is no society known where a more or less developed criminality is not found under different forms. No people exists whose morality is not daily infringed upon.

Betty FriedanRead

Research is industrial prospecting. The oil prospectors use every scientific means to find new paying wells. Oil is found by each one of a number of methods.
