• • Bullish Life: What To Do When You’re Surrounded By Lazy Idiots (and Sweet, Fragile Simpletons)

Anthem  | Now, my opinions on Ayn Rand are on record. I do not think it would be “theft” from our nation’s geniuses if we all paid more taxes so we could have excellent public schools. I think sometimes shared sacrifice is appropriate. If you are a wealthy white man in the United States who loves Ayn Rand, I will probably consider it my duty to fight you on many important issues related to citizenship and governance. And yet, if you are a woman in Afghanistan, I can’t help but thinking that you could use a little Ayn Rand in your life. Of course, Rand herself grew up in Soviet Russia, so you can kind of see where she was coming from.
