Hello once again, As I've stated earlier on in this thread I will not ridicule people. It serves no purpose to meaningful discussion but you seem to feel otherwise as you have shown with myself and with "prospector." You stated that you have no respect for me therefor I will respect your wishes and merely end my conversations with you with how I began them and please feel free to have the last word. In all sincerity I will pray that the God I worship will bless you and keep you in His care. " I suppose we will all know the sum of the matter one day..... And whether there was wisdom in your words. Or not. " John

I have not read this whole thread, so I hope I am not repeating anything. Firstly, I have read some of your posts elsewhere, XY Zebra, and I am aware of your objectivism. I too have read all Rand's literature more than once, although it has been a few years... I would enjoy contributing to this thread...but in small pieces; just don't have the time for an essay. Here is one observation: I think, perhaps, I could handle living for 1000 years; perhaps for one trillion years; perhaps for one trillion trillion years. But if I had to live for one trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion years...with no way to get surcease--with no way out of it...well, I would have a problem with that! Eternity is far too long for me! Barry
