@Chepeunbrainwashed

You would have failed in suming it up

@Chepeunbrainwashed Well you definatley sound like someone who knows his stuff. Sarcasm*

If I were to try to sum up all of Rand's work into a single word, it would be bullshit.

Interesting, I've always thought this but never quite put it into words. I've also always wondered how people can do things like cheat on their partners, and other such compromises with their integrity, and then asking to be forgiven for it, after the conscious decision to decide against that integral value has been made.

What seductive introductory guitar music... followed by ERSATZ philosophical ramblings...

Govt can't protect you- but it sure as hell can get you killed!

There can be NO compromise between freedom & slavery! It is the freedom of capitalism which produces ALL the greatest benefits of mankind- its the capitalist who makes the cars, the light bulb, hell even the computer! But it is govt which thrives on infringing on the capitalists rights- govt thrives on tyranny, govt thrives on fear, it steals, it lies & it cheats every fucking day. Govt is the opposite of freedom. govt is the very cause of really EVERY single major economic problem!!!!!!!!

vioxx anyone? o yeah it was fda approved- hell the fda & cdc tend to approve that which never ought be 'approved' & prevent distribution of products which ought be on the market. Moreover, u know the fda controlls whats on the food labels- THEY DICTATE 'EXACTLY what is on there & prohibit any additional information.

dont be naive. govt can NOT guarantee safety or effecacy or security in any front- not financially, socially & definitely not economically. It is an IMPOSSIBLE & IMPRACTICAl job

cus they know those rubber stamps dont really mean anythin significent. Property rights- that is THE ONLY FUCKING thing which will protect you & is worth protecting. If u ensure property rights, u will find they are a MILLION times more effective, more strict yet more efficient & free- they are millions of times better at guaranteeing any real safety & effecacy of products. guess why- just take a wild guess why property rights are so important
