Re: Ayn Rand Institute: US Gov. Shouldn't Help Tsunami Victims

Quote:
Ayn Rand kind of makes me nauseous.
That is a very "liberal" point of view.

Quote:
I have some libertarian leanings, but Ayn Rand illustrated how almost anything could be taken to extremes.
This type of thinking has not always been considered extreme, nor should it be.

Quote:
That's just dumb. To her, I say to whom much is given, much is required, whether it be wealth, talents, grace, etc.
She would reply, give freely and give graciously of yourself at your choosing, but no man should be imposed to give without his consent (I.E. Its not a gift if you do not give it through your own means).

I disagree with this piece and feel the Gov. should send relief in this case. However, do not pick at Ms. Rand if you do not fully understand her.
