I've never actually read Ayn Rand, because I was turned off by the high school essay competition that they run, which has a Scienetics feel to it.

I don't think I have missed much.

I don't think it would be a good idea for you to read Rand.

Its a good thing you haven't read anything by Ayn Rand. That way you can continue to make ludicrous statements like the one above.

I mean isn't it obvious that anyone who appreciates Ayn Rand's philosophy has little empathy for others?

As Ryan said, Walmart is sued for mistreating workers, and they stop the practice, giving the poor better working conditions.IMPROVED WORKING CONDITIONS

LIBERAL SUCCESS STORY!

Obama has arrived to do for the middle class what Clinton did for the poor.

You've got to be kidding me.

That's what we decided, too.

Incidentally, I really really really wanted to post the youtube video to the song "StuffMart," but apparently Big Idea Studios doesn't like to share their stuff.
