| Along with Whole Foods John Mackey being another huge Rand follower it tickles me to see liberals fawning over these stores. Carry on. |

| But do liberals actually buy them, or is it the libertarians who buy them? Or do they just hang there in the store, unsold? |

| I think that both companies take legitimate health interests and turn them into a profit source. Anyone who is not skeptical of their marketing is a sucker. So yes, as a liberal, it kills me to see people sucking up to them, or for that matter even some "mom and pop" local organic farm. Chances are they are in the business for higher margins. If there was more profit for small farmers to make using pesticides, you can bet your bottom dollar they would be using it. And therefore you can only trust their clams as far as you can verify them. |

| Libertarians annoy the hell out of me. Especially when some college kid tries to tell me with a straight face that they are a libertarian-while going to school with student loans. |

| I find it hard to believe that anybody over age 14 is an Ayn Rand fan. |

have you been living in a cave or what? |

Maybe her cave has a library with books written by real philosophers. |

Meaning only people you believe in Lenin, Marx and Guevara. |

Well, you're going to need those annoying libertarians to help march on Richmond after the new Va abortion bill goes through. You know what's annoying? The Obama stickers on SUVs, minivans and other terrible has mileage cars. |

No. And since when did Che Guevara get promoted to philosopher, or are you showing off your weak mind? |

Best quote ever about Ayn Rand:
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. 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. -- Paul Krugman quoting someone |

Yeah, the only Libertarian in the running, Ron Paul, is against abortion. Pretty sure they are going to be of no help What annoys me is that we have to drive high mileage cars. When Bush came into office, the price of gas was $1.60 a gallon. And that's where it stood until we invaded Iraq. Way to go, Republicans. |

College kids are supposed to experiment with puerile theories. Although Rand tends to appeal more to high school kids, for obvious reasons. I suppose some college kids still have arrested development issues. But I do find it amusing that such claptrap would be slapped on gym bags for yoga mamas. |
