"My point about Somalia is that it has no government at all. Just self interest-greed; and the kids are not protected." That is nice to know. Your point has nothing whatsoever to do with any evaluation or comparison of Objectivism. And Objectivism has nothing to do with greed... It stands to reason that someone believing in personal responsibility as the pith of their existence would protect children... Galt's Gulch was the idealised representation of Rand's philosophy, as you well know. Do you think it remotely resembled Somalia??? Then why use such a disingenuous reference when we are discussing humanity and serious matters??? "The words below sound nice, but what do they mean? What country follows them?" No country follows them....but they mean something all right. How do YOU reconcile reason and objective reality (you fall if you step off your balcony and you swallow water and die if you walk into the ocean over your head) with your "ignore all premises" but find the pragmatic warm spot on the planet or the blanket approach to existence??
