  • Do a google search and read and watch some of her videos.

    While we may not believe in everything she says, it will make you think and ask questions.

    In other words, seek more education.

  • It's a good reason to explore things for yourself instead of listening to the herd.

  • Ayn Rand was one of the most extraordinary people in human history. Dr. Burns does a great job of explaining the essence of her work, and its significance to our humanity on this planet. Thank you, Dr. Burns.

  • @TimothyBragan yeah especially her criticism of "I was rooting for her to overcome some things..." vagueness was annoying

  • @TheFlamingNuns

    this woman knows nothing about Ayn

  • I am an Objectivist. An Atheist. And a leader within my local TEA party. I may have some disagreements with theists but thats not why we work together, we work together on the grounds we have in common and put aside our differences while not leaving our principles at the door.

    If you are an atheist and scared of the TEA party you shouldn't be, work with them and you will realize they can be persuaded to keep the religion personal and not governmental. This is important for our future.

  • It's probably just me but. Burns has somewhat of a bitchy leftard vibe to her.

  • @dduppie rand was obviously influenced by nietzsche
