You are asking ME to show YOU! You yourself said you could find cases where all three pricing scenarios were deemed against the law. Or perhaps you didn't mean it. Does it take more than mere selling to be prosecuted? The question is what more does it take? This law is considered vague, open to interpretation, and simply bad law in many quarters. I agree. I am heartened that you attacked her premise head on. Unfortunately, thanks to the possibility of the whim of a prosecutor being played out(i.e. against Microsoft), you don't know that mere selling alone, at one price or another, won't be used as a basis for prosecution. The laws exist and may be used in unpredictable ways. So Logically... Ach, you just won't get it. You have forgotten again that a logical conclusion can be drawn from a false premise. You have agreed as noted above, that there is quite a bit of truth in her premise. Now you deny it and so contradict yourself. You have the simple evidence before you to make the trivial decision that she is indeed logical. I'm done. (much relief out there I'm sure) Serious Rand followers might have seen long ago from my posts that I am not a true believer. I dislike "true believerism" greatly. If you read her you should see she understands much about such things, and does not shirk nor shadow box such charges as yours. BTW You presume without basis that I believe in God. My parents never took me to church, and I do not go now. If you didn't know it, Ayn Rand was an Atheist- I, however, am not. I just don't believe in religion. Your comment about dancing pigs is another argument to the man. The notion that Rand can't make a logical argument remains preposterous to me. I suspect you are in a tiny minority, even among those who don't agree with her at all. George Gilder has made some fairly enlightening comments about Rand- you could find them in his interview by Playboy which can be found somewhere in the links at the start of this thread.
