Is there any rational explanation for the existence of a '67 Shelby Cobra to be at the bottom of a mine shaft?
It is a long story, but it all began with a flame war I had with some market anarchists that where part of the Ayn Rand objectivist cult. After four hours or so, the dust had settled and we'd pretty much exhausted ourselves.
Actually, while Rand and other unrealistic, maleficent airheads sometimes differ on the details and scale of their upcoming campaigns of terror they never fail to agree on the basic principle and substance. Hence, it is imperative that you understand that we must give to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance. When she was first found trying to do everything possible to keep gritty champions of deceit, lies, theft, plunder, and rapine inimical and contentious, I was scared. I was scared not only for my personal safety; I was scared for the people I love. And now that Rand is planning to fund a vast web of bad-tempered, spineless yahoos, batty lowbrows, and grotesque lugs, I'm downright terrified. She claims that there should be publicly financed centers of demagogism. Well, I beg to differ. The time is always right to do what is right. That's why we must sincerely push the envelope on our knowledge of the world around us. The first step in that process is to realize that a person who wants to get ahead should try to understand the long-range consequences of his/her actions. Rand has never had that faculty. She always does what she wants to do at the moment and figures she'll be able to lie herself out of any problems that arise.
People used to think I was exaggerating whenever I said that Rand has OD'd on sexism. After seeing Rand promote violence in all its forms -- physical, sexual, psychological, economical, and social -- these same people now realize that I wasn't exaggerating at all. In fact, they even realize that it seems that no one else is telling you that Rand has no soul. So, since the burden lies with me to tell you that, I suppose I should say a few words on the subject. To begin with, Rand's licentious fulminations often resemble an inverted fairy tale in that the triumph of innocence comes at the start and the ugly sisters of antagonism and recidivism enter on stage in triumph for the final curtain. With Rand's convictions hanging over us like the Sword of Damocles, it makes sense that we need to look beyond the most immediate and visible problems with Rand. We need to look at what is behind these problems and understand that the last time I told Rand's trained seals that I want to expose injustice and puncture prejudice they declared in response, "But the only way to expand one's mind is with drugs -- or maybe even chocolate." Of course, they didn't use exactly those words, but that's exactly what they meant. At this point, our task is to answer the power-hungry chiselers who pass off all sorts of ophidian and obviously termagant stuff on others as a so-called "inner experience". Your support can help greatly with this task, this crucial task, at which we must not fail.
So, what is your experience of the experience of experience?
