Can you imagine a discussion like that on Crossfire or Foxnews? She listens to the criticism leveled against her and responds in a very even manner. Regardless of how I feel about her position, I admire that quality very much. I think a lot of people could take a cue from her mature response. <BR/><BR/>PRPatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08538002864582011188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19064835.post-44465628021139154262007-05-12T08:14:00.000-04:002007-05-12T08:14:00.000-04:00But if you like Ayn Rand, you are objective...er.....But if you like Ayn Rand, you are objective...er...objectivist. Haha.<BR/><BR/>Great interview. I was surprised how effectively Phil was able to criticise her position, and I was impressed with her defense, especially toward that punk in the audience who referenced the 'cult' of Ayn Rand. If Ayn had been 20 years younger, I think we would have seen her pick up the chair she was sitting in and clobbered that woman with it (predating today's 'in yo face' brand of talk show by a good 15 years).<BR/><BR/>I've never really understood her position. All I ever knew about Ayn Rand is that she was one of the most polarised figures in philosophy--people either loved her or absolutely hated her. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the links.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289568704502576258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19064835.post-16132145046825282322007-05-11T13:33:00.000-04:002007-05-11T13:33:00.000-04:00We put you over there in the blazing sun to deal w...We put you over there in the blazing sun to deal with sandstorms, the continuous threat of violence, rundown equipment, no track to run intervals and deny you the opportunity to lose yourself in youtube for an hour!
