Dragonfly:
<<<<<This is the thing about Ayn Rand: She does not know how to form a logical position.>>>>
<<<<<<In other words, what is the difference between her writing and the Bible? The bible
draws a lot of conclusions and many people believe it, but can you argue in a court
of law that men should not be allowed to shave or to eat hamburgers because the
bible forbids these things?>>>>>

I think the difference in believing some of the statements of Rand versus the statements of the Bible is that Rand demands that you use your reason versus the Bible asks that you take everything on faith. Personally I will use reason.

<<<<<There is no supporting evidence included in this statement.>>>>
<<Under the antitrust laws, a man becomes a criminal >>>>>

If you read the statements you will agree that every statement made is true although it may be exaggeration. Unfortunately they become less and less of an exaggeration. as time goes on as can be seen in the governments attack of the cigarette industry. The original intent was to protect the children from the evils of smoking but it looks like they are after the MONEY.

Nice to hear from you,
