I quoted her accurately and then challenged her statement directly. "Like Hell, you did! You quoted Rand as saying: "a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities"" Have you imbibed some sort of stupefying substance? Read it again: Her words are in quotes, my words directly challenge her assertions. What's your problem? (I mean besides the obvious). Message 26327779

Strange that Greg had a knee jerk attack to that quote which actually protects, supports and defends him and his little cult. This is probably because Greg would not support or defend anyone outside of his little tribe... "The source of man’s rights is not divine law or congressional law, but the law of identity. A is A—and Man is Man. Rights are conditions of existence required by man’s nature for his proper survival. If man is to live on earth, it is right for him to use his mind, it is right to act on his own free judgment, it is right to work for his values and to keep the product of his work. If life on earth is his purpose, he has a right to live as a rational being: nature forbids him the irrational. Any group, any gang, any nation that attempts to negate man’s rights, is wrong, which means: is evil, which means: is anti-life." AYN RAND aynrandlexicon.com
