I enjoyed this article, even though I might have interjected: but, but but, but, . . oh, ok, I think I understand what she was getting at.

However, knowing right from wrong, true capitalism from "Crapitalism or True Liberty to live one's own life versus Living someone else's idea of life; doesn't take an advanced degree, it just takes common sense but today we might say it was Uncommon. . . at the risk of creating another "Rubber Word",

    The answer to the question... - is the reason we, in the gulch, are objectivists and non-altruists.

    Not much wonder that Ayn Rand is so hated by so many--since she held the truth in her hand and slapped the liars and hypocrites across the face with it so tellingly.

    Thanks for posting this article, OUC.
    The analysis of the early '60s, in particular the true goals of JFK were spot on.
    At present, I keep hearing that if JFK was living in today's society he would be called not a liberal but a conservative. (??). I contend that he not only be still a liberal, but a smiling one also.

    My only question is, 'has conservatism fallen to a such a degree that today, it is only a 'rubber word'?

    Gota love Ayn Rand's directness . . . I bet she'd get along with President Trump for the most part.
