   Then stop attacking the producers and thinkers.

   ayn rand was an Atheist. The far “right” conveniently “forgets” that. As an Atheist, I hate that she was an Atheist. She was nuts. I read atlas shrugged and the fountainhead. Her depictions of “lovemaking” were nothing less than violent assault. She was also quite naive.

   Get back to me as soon as there’s even one demonstrable success story in applied libertarianism. Somalia by itself isn’t a very good example.

   Kind of sounds like the stereotype of a militant lesbian.

   Ayn Rand is the saint of those who think that money is the only worthwhile measure of anything- up to, including and especially human life.

   Ayn Rand was an incredibly confused person. Nothing she had to say about the world should be seriously considered.

   Are you including Mitt Romney in those
   groups?
   Would you say he’s more of a producer
   or a thinker?

   Simply put, Ayn Rand was nuts. Greenspan was her devotee and friend, and applying her “economics” destroyed our economy, and even he himself finally admitted, it was a mistake.

   If people would just listen to Ayn Rand, we could all have perpetual motion machines. I’ve been promoting this, and so has Thomas Friedman in the New York Times. As we both say, it’s those moocher university professors that Ms Rand wrote are all liars, misleading their students by teaching things like ‘Thermodynamics’ which is clearly wrong, since it’s not in Aristotle.

   
   First, as Thomas Friedman and Rand write, NOTHING is impossible for the American entrepreneurs if colleges wouldn’t teach them that things are impossible so they won’t even try, but instead would teach them how to raise venture capital. And second, those Thermodynamics professors contradict themselves. They say every engine creates entropy. So if someone would just build a machine powered by entropy, it would be a perpetual motion machine, running on the entropy it creates.

   
   And none of the effete intellectual snobs can explain why that is wrong without using that ‘math’ and ‘science’ that no right-thinking person accepts. Before the dimlibs ruined the world, they used to burn mathematicians at the stake, and almost every student in math classes recognises that the world would be a better place if it would resume that practice.

    Only an idiot would think that was a good book.

    Part Two of the movie comes out tomarrow. Part One was a flop that lost money.

    Gary Cooper was in “The Fountainhead”. It doesn’t seem to have been a highlight of his career.
