- Christ with an undescended testicle! I'd rather read stories about
- buxom young tarts who can't get enough nookie until I go blind
- than spend one solitary half-hour reading some old biddie whining
- about how terrible society is holding back all these courageous and
- faultless businessmen who just want to make life better for us all.

- peeve: Rand, Libertarians, and all the boring drivel they generate.
- If we let these people enter the mainstream of American
- political dialogue, you can just kiss off the 20th century.
- Check out "Soylent Green" or "Freejack" for an accurate
- vision of a Randian future. Feudalism - coming soon to
- a society near you!
