ayn rand

Either her writing is getting a lot worse or I'm coming out of a Margaret Atwood phase...

about a month ago i started reading lonestarmadam posts, but i'm so over that now

please don't acknowledge her existence in any way shape or form.....

I too was impressed by Ayn Rand, for about thirty minutes.

Bowlby.


An oldie but a goody.

Attachment theory?

Yep...in part.


Opposite of Rand, really.



Heh heh heh.............

Ah, good point! :-)

deep throat

I loved the "Fountainhead" - and still do.

Interesting juxtaposition...

I'm not sure I can even spell it now, Teilhard du Chardin. Probably a year.

I listened to Hans Kung for at least several months.

I'm partial to this line of thinking...from Mr. Goldwater.


"I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution or that have failed their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is "needed'' before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents "interests,'' I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can."

Deep Throat!

I had an interview at a charter school that had Ayn Rand as required reading. How bizarre. So was the interview.
