En Fuego! How'd you do that?

Ok, find me one single objectivist writer who supports protectionism for American goods. Just one. BTW, I admit 'greatest epic novel' wasn't the best choice of words...

You have no idea how ironic that statement is to me, because I personally am actually immune to inhaled chloroform. (Can anyone here explain to me how that is even medically possible???) For Thunderdog: While the characters in A.S., Fountainhead and Anthem are indeed one-dimentional, you...

Many of your criticisms are true, yet undeserved. What you must keep in mind, is that Rand's novels aren't really novels at all, but philosophical works <i>written in novel form</i> in order to make them more readable. Complaints that the characters follow a very narrow band of conduct...

A better question would be: How do you take one of the greatest epic novels of all time, all 1000+ pages of it, and condense all that into a 2 1/2 hour screenplay?

That's what they said about Fox News. The most vital asset a film can have is <b>uniqueness</b>. In a country where over 99% of movies are either non-political, or solidly Liberal- This one would get attention. Not to dash anyone's hopes, but Baldwin purchased the rights to A.S. over two...

Rearden Metal : Quote from southamerica: . 50 percent of the graduating high school students “class of 2005” <b>can’t read or write</b> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He mentioned more than once a study just published that said...

Please show me a legitimate source for this little tidbit of information. ...or admit you made it up.

TGM, regarding what I said about your philosophies being an unusual and contradictory blend.... don't worry- It's nothing next to this TRIPLE PARADOX MONSTROSITY!

What you're saying is 100% true, yet intelligent people should be able to recognize the meme and swim against the current. You'll never hear me whining about how 'Rich White men suck our society dry.' ...no matter how trendy it gets.

Sometimes, they do. <img src=http://rds.yahoo.com/S=96062883/K=bush+ashcroft/v=2/SID=w/l=IVI/SIG=12lokeesb/EXP=1125868640/*-http%3A//www.thegully.com/essays/america/img_usa/ashcroft_bush2.jpg> bush_ashcroft.jpg (Sorry, couldn't resist. If we had some Liberals here with a creative sense of...

TGM, you're probably only the second person on ET to use the term 'statist'. I would be the first. A is A, strict common sense, property rights...you <b>sound</b> just like me... but then comes all the Eurocentrism stuff which makes me quite uneasy. Are you my evil twin? :D

Proudhon. The collectivist who hated government. Not really my kind of guy, considering the fact that collectivism <b>is</b> the disease. Government abuses in the name of the collective... are merely a symptom. "The Jew is by temperament an anti-producer, neither a farmer nor an industrial...

Ok, now you're saying <b>the exact same things I believe in</b>, making me feel like a dick for even suggesting you're one of those jerks that moan about the 'filthy fucking n....' when they drink. I mean, you probably CAN understand the source of my confusion. You don't have to mention...

Perhaps my assessment was a bit harsh then. In that case let me ask you: The U.S. is now composed of over 30% non-aryans, for lack of a better term. You give the impression that you believe 'something must be done with them.' My question is...what?

I knew it. I knew it after only reading a couple of your posts. Your choice in white supremacist literature only confirms what I had sensed all along. If we were your drinking buddies instead of Elite Trader, I'm sure this conversation would involve alot less hinting, and alot more use of...

You won't have to. Thanks to the job the media has done raising awareness of the wretched conditions of the survivors, I predict the evacution will speed up, and humane living conditions will be restored for nearly everyone by this time tomorrow night.

I'm not really into holistic abstract analogies...but I know who is. This book is FULL of the stuff you're describing.

TGregg, I'm sure you already know this, <b>but there is no such thing as price gouging!</b> If an individual owns any sort of property, it is not the proper function of government to tell him what he's allowed to sell it for. If I put out an offer to sell AAPL at $500/share, is that...
