I read it again on a large monitor. It truly isn't in there.

Thank you, BrettRocketSci,

I couldn't agree with you about about the mission and the "road directions" you point out.

I should have mentioned also that by the end of the war in 1945, around 10% of the population of Yugoslavia were killed.

Fare well!

Thank you for being here and sharing this! Thanks to Eudaimonia for posting the original article too! We are kindred souls on a sacred mission. We must stand together, act strongly, and never surrender.

Sounds like: nazi's, communist, marxist, liberals, progressives, radical gays, environmentalists, vegans, vegetarians [and anyone more concerned about earth but not the life upon it] global warming freaks, islam and of course isis!

Human Rights are considered by humans to be inalienable. The right to Life, Liberty & Opportunity is what makes us human.
If an individual does not understand & believe in the nature of humanity, that individual cannot be human, They are an alien specie and a natural enemy to humanity & must be dealt with accordingly.

Human slavery can only be practiced & accepted by aliens to humanity. The negro was formally regarded as sub-human which made their enslavement acceptable. Something like taming & using wild horses to ride & pull. But, most humans are capable of learning & reasoning & acting on their own if given the opportunity. This is why 'black' slavery eventually failed.

There is greater enslavement by fear, superstition, ignorance, coercion, debt & force today than ever before. The only way to prevent slavery is to empower the individual to recognize & avoid enslavement by any means.

Considering the societal trend of our country toward masochism, I am not entirely convinced the plan would work toward your favor...

Got it,

I started to say "Are you serious", then I remembered who I was responding to.

My attempt at sarcasm or irony.
What I was trying to portray was a "reductio ad absurdum." To exaggerate something by reducing it to an absurdity.

I missed that part. Is it really in there? I'm reading it on a phone.

No Objectivist could use force to impose such a coercive system. WHy not just let them be and see how they can do on their own. Its not we who care about what they do its they who fiercely hate let us being free.

True and beautiful as a tribute to the best within. I have two knives which belonged to an Estonian woman who was imprisoned by the Soviets after the Hitler-Stalin pact. She was released and imprisoned again when the Nazis captured Estonia. When the red army rolled through she was imprisoned again and years later she escaped and with the two knives and her cooking skills she worked her way to Germany and and across the border into West Germany . She came to freedom in Manchester NH where my Grandmother gave her a job as a cook and house keeper. She made the most wonderful bread and it was a treat to watche her cut the warm bread with her knife and serve it with butter. I inherited the two knoives when she died which I treasure above all else I own except for my Ayn Rand works from across the same border. Lest we forget. .

You know, in that whole episode, the apology surprised me much less than the initial statement. Why?

Because I've met George Takei. I sat next to him on a little commuter airliner flying from Atlanta to Columbus, GA in 1997. I chatted with him about Star Trek (I thought he was great in "Undiscovered Country") and "The Green Berets" (he described John Wayne as 'an incredible, enormous presence.)

He was friendly, personable, and good-natured. I enjoyed speaking with him. I had a hard time squaring the man I met in 1997 with the comments about Judge Thomas.

I'm guessing the apology was sincere.

Yes bad typo, thanks fore the correction. At least you knew what I meant...

Read "The Stones Cry Out". I mentioned and reviewed it here about a year ago, I think. Man...that book changed my life. It was a little girl's account of trying to survive under Pol Pot. Every American should read it.

Just a correction, but I think you mean Pasteur, as in Louis Pasteur, generally credited with the development of the process of pasteurization of milk and inoculation.

I've got it! Why not follow the example of the jihadists and use religion to convince the great unwashed. Catholics will be forced, if they don't comply to say 1,000 "Our Fathers" and 2,000 "Hail Marys." Jews will need 30 Yom Kippurs (day of atonement) in a row. Muslims will do a solid two months of Ramadan. With that hanging over their heads, they'll have no choice but to toe the line.

CG showed his true colors long ago. His response is unsurprising.

Which is the essence of the Oath.

It's available on DVD; I have a copy. It is likely available for streaming as well. Thanks for the reminder, I'll watch it again tonight and will show it the next time friends visit.

Thanks for posting this. I myself have already sometimes called today's Leftist 'Totalitarians' and posted this on FB.

Right!

Wood; Excellent quote. Txs +1

I just watched a discussion with a bunch of Doctors who came to the conclusion that all the previous conventional wisdom,( i.e. majority agreed, ), that keeping kids away from nuts until age 3 is the major cause of all the sever allergies of nuts, and that children should be exposed as early as birth for their immune system to begin protecting them from allergies.

Two Doctors said something I thought I would NEVER hear a Doctor say. "Wow I guess we were all wrong, who would have thought."

You could fill a library with all the times conventional "wisdom" from academics was so wrong.

When Pasture, discovered germs, he was scoffed at, and ridiculed, and when he suggested washing hands before surgery, doctors, educated doctors across the world had to be pulled kicking and screaming to start washing their hands before surgery.

Not so sure that questioning the "majority" is totalitarianism. To me more like common sense.

So often it IS that 5% or even the ONE that is totally right and everyone else is wrong.

Congratulations, CirquitGuy!

You finally and undeniably have shown your true colors. Thank you!
