The Fountainhead - Roark's Courtroom Speech

lordhighexecutioner: You haven't read the book, it seems.

The contract he had specifically says they had to agree to his design, as-is. They broke the contract, thus not "paying" him as was the deal -- *they* initiated force against *him* (stealing), and he refuses to let them steal from him, thus blowing up Cortlandt.

Cooper was a talentless CUNT.

Then what was Rock Hudson?

Hudson was better than the ugly, stupid cancer-ridden CUNT Cooper.

Roarke also shows that he is mad when he claims that people invent things not to solve problems, but only to feed their egos. He also claims that everyone hates new inventions and inventors. What nonsense. These are the ravings of a lunatic, not a hero.

Spoken like a true Brit. Someone from a conquered nation still reeling from the collapse of a supposed Empire.

Roark's words are for the world's achievers. Which you'll find in America.

China and Russia are far more powerful than the American Empire.

China is really good at making cheap copies of American ideas/products and mass producing them.

Russia is a laughing stock.

Neither have ever produced anything of note except folly and murder on a unknown scale. The majority of their population is poor, illiterate, and has a standard of living less than most zoo animals in the US. Don't worry, the "moochers and looters" will bring the US down to their level soon.

You are ignorant. Solving problems does feed egos. Furthermore, what happened to Galileo?!?!

That is. what makes an architect worthy of being one of the supermen? Why not write a book about the plumber destroying a building because the toilets are not arranged as he likes them... What if Mr. Roarke was working for Donald Trump and Trump changed the plans of the Trump tower being planned... would Rand have approved of his destroying a Trump tower? Or is it OK because it's public housing for the poor commissioned by government?
