This "Playboy" story on FreedomFest, libertarianism, and Objectivism is great fun. In the end, I think, it will be very helpful to us. The one thing it accomplishes is to move "libertarianism" in the popular mind from a set of scare terms and smears to a group of individuals with real ideas, different ideas... and something new to say.

I am very proud that when the "Playboy" writer reached the Atlas Society booth, he encountered the radiant, eloquent, uniquely poised Chick of The Free Mind, Laurie Rice, and she had the presence of mind to say something perfect about what scares so many people about Objectivism: Yes, you really are responsible for your own life. We aren't urging Congress to mandate that; reality and human nature require it. Laurie said it so much better. Great fun; read it. I think she will get hundreds of marriage proposals... The "Playboy" Bunny is SO yesterday...
