    Objectivism Is The Everyman's Philosophy

    In the universe, what you see is what you get,

    figuring it out for yourself is the way to happiness,

    and each person's independence is respected by all

    By StrictlyLogical,
    Social media, mainstream media, and the concentration of power in big data are creating a crazy left-wing suppression of anything ... well sane.   "Aunt Jemima" is no more.  The syrup itself will not change and will be just as delicious, but it will be sold under a new logo and name. (By the way, if sales TANK, this might turn out to be a perfect example of how brand name recognition actually... duh...  IS important)   Now buying Aunt Jemima in the past never meant I endorsed
