    Me dino already paid a lawyer for my last will and testament, so it's too late to have my wacky cerebrum removed when I take a dirt nap.

    Dino, sometimes I wonder what you're on. I gotta get me some. My comment is made with a smile.

    Also, years ago I read People of the Lie by Scott Peck and it changed my view of evil in this world. There truly are evil people.

    Not as strange as the one-eyed make it.
    Some Libertarians have left views, that is why Rand made the crucial differences clear.

    Two thoughts:
    -Ronald Reagan said he was a Democrat once but that party changed, not him.
    -Australian Labor Party leader, Kim Beasley, previous generation, said at a conference: This party once held the cream of the working class, now I look around I see the dregs of the middle class.
    Sorry, cannot find what the response was!

    Me dino not trying to preach.
    Just got reminded of a saying that even the devil will quote scripture to serve his own purposes.
    Some people are evil is all I'm trying to say.

    Before me an old dino started to buy CDs, I had vinyl records that would sometimes "skip" and repeat some music, "skip" and repeat some music, "skip" and repeat some music, until I gave the whatzit with the needle a nudge.

    They have seen the outcome of socialism repeatedly, and they still feel they are too smart for that to happen to them. Straight over the cliff.

    This may be true but then if she has read and is quoiting AR she knows the outcome.

    Absolutely, she was celebrating that Ayn Rand was right and this is all happening. Wow! That's pretty amazing. The stupid leftists are accusing her of being a fan of Ayn Rand. I don't think they're seeing the forest for the trees...

    Don't know why this posted 3 times(?) Anyway, it is my understanding that later in his life George Orwell bragged that 1984 wasn't a warning but just a statement that "We're going to do this to you and there's nothing you can do about it." He was gloating...

    Your explanation makes more sense to me now. I do believe you are correct in your assessment. Thanks.

    Considering the source, I suspect she was CELEBRATING the approaching 'inversion' where Government is in total control and citizens need permission to act. Her mistake was using an AR quote to illustrate. To the left, anyone familiar with AR is an automatic outcast.

    at first glance I thought that someone was someone truly interested in freedom and liberty, but after thinking, I will reserve judgement - never trust the left.
