I was going to post to you yesterday about my #7 tooth that my excellent dentist had just removed pain free but the freezing started to come out.

I think I answered some of your Ayn Rand question here #reply-15691884

It's great to give and I think Bill and Melinda should get their butts over there and do something real if that is how they feel. The Pharisees in the bible made a great show about giving. To have your money taken from you without your consent to donate as a mindless government agency dictates is not charity it is extortion.

We live in a society that removes itself from everything. Someone commits a heinous crime we hide them in jail. Someone is critically ill we hide them in a hospital. We eat meat but do we ever see the slaughter and the carnage of that process. We don't live in a real world no wonder so many of us don't trust our subjective senses.

Rand said:

"Always act in accordance with the hierarchy of your values and never sacrifice a greater value to a lesser one."

So it would appear that Ayn Rand supported Mother Teresa.
