One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers (AFAIK)JoeBuddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18319760904453837861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-69788505188849159252011-04-27T05:06:17.006-07:002011-04-27T05:06:17.006-07:00If you set out to combine every irritating trait o...If you set out to combine every irritating trait of modern American political life--shallow, self-aggrandizing "analysis", the pretension of expertise where there is none, facile, undeserved elitism, hypocrisy, oversimplification, a smug and unearned moral superiority, the inability to discern trash from treasure, and the gleeful cheapening of any and all standards if there's a buck to be made--all you really need to give Ayn Rand is a belief in Jebus and a cellphone.<br /><br />And, of course, her disciples have take care of that.James Briggs Stratton "Doghouse" Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378802364709433791noreply@blogger.com
