I have selected my partner for absolute, selfish reasons with the primary being she shares my standard of value. This standard (life) allows for a fundamental grounding of both the logical and rational choices. Chops, you should make a decision as to whether she is worth the work needed to teach the entire cocept of a standard of value. This leads to her developing a core understanding of "a philosophy for living on Earth." (Ayn Rand - I smile everytime I think of her) This will allow the foundation on which she would be able to evaluate choices and consequences. If on the other hand, you decide this to be not of any value then I urge you to move on. Find your values in another. Be selfish. I am amazed by this nonsense. It is hard for me still today to see how one comes to this irrationality in their thinking. Love is an exhange of values. Value for value. It is not altuism. One can not withhold love. Love is the exchange of one's highest values for another's highest values. Love is selfish.

Crane, Poole, and Schmidt is the most respected and successful firm in Boston. That old joke. A guy arrives at the pearl games and while waiting in line sees someone jumping around wearing a suit and carring a briefcase. The guy gets to St. Peter and asks who is that guy running around? St. Peter replies, "Oh that just God, thinks he's Denny Crane."

An absolute amazing marketing move would be to cast various actors for different roles but never publically disclose who plays what till showtime. That way everyone will be asking, "Who is John Galt?" While I do not like Angelina Jolie as a person, I find her tolerable as an actress. My chioce of Kate Beckinsale for Dagny was better. EDIT: I really should read all the posts in a topic before posting. Rex Little has the right idea.

Kate Beckinsale would be prefect as Dagny. Right look. Right age.
