"You spun that answer. I men, I understand you had to spin it because there is no rational answer."

No. I didn't spin it. You understood it or you didn't..

"Still, I realize democracy is the only answer."

Hmmmm...that is what Rand said. But she said that it had to be qualified or informed or protected by a Capitalist economy because she believed that life should be something beyond subjective and whimsical.

Rand believed in democracy. But she believed that democracy should always work with fundamental objective rules. You know those rules: Life is a value. Reason is the means. Reason is a value, etc. I'm not going to discuss that.

If you think that people can live without mind, reason, or values then I guess you have no reason to discuss philosophy with me??!!
