Objectivism: Philosophy of Reason
Well, first off, I am, to the best of my current abilities, an Objectivist. I've been reading through a lot of these posts, despite their age and have this to say:
Raynd's theories of Objectivism are fantastic! They far surpass any form of idealogies I've encountered and I have tried to verse myself in as many forms as possible. However, her idealogies could only be applied where man decides to live as a rational being. Unfortunately, there does no seem to exist on the face of this planet, such an area. Despite this, I am a firm believer that if her ideas were put into common practise, the 'homeless' and 'destitute' would not NEED the jobs of the able who work at Wal-Mart (in Quebec or elsewhere) as there would be sufficient employment for all. The problem lies in the human element. As the saying goes, one bad apple spoils the bunch.
