Well the Ayn Rand aspect does nothing to make me want to try it, that's for sure.  Undecided

Where as it makes me more interested!

I shit you not; in the book 'Faith of the Fallen' the character lead gives an oral college thesis on the workings on how a society will not function in the manner that his attackers did to get his attention to force him to aid their country. It went on for close to 50 pages. It was so obnoxious.

Ugh  Undecided

Yes, because all people are born with the same resources and opportunities as others and therefor it makes sense that only the strong, wise and those that are willing to work for it should be allowed to prosper and have a good life. Really?

EDIT - that was not meant to be a knock on your religious belief ... just a knock on the idea that all men can obtain wealth by merely "pulling their bootstraps up" and working hard. Hope you don't take offense. Not intended.

Avatar mash-up is from Ross Pearsall... and of course those that own the original characters Smiley
