I always thought it was funny that god punished man to toil on the earth (i.e., be productive), and then demands a return on their work because it was a "blessing". In reality, any time god 'blessed' a king's reign with prosperity, it wasn't some divine act of god. It was a man toiling away on a field, a mine, or a workshop creating wealth.

Her comment seems logical, but keep in mind that most white Americans are in fact a mixed breed

Ayn Rand
I'm not gonna lie, I do find her attractive in that sort of dark way. I know she's not the most physically attractive person to walk the Earth, but something about her that's beautiful.

I took this the other day and got all but the last one right.
I don't see how if you have a balanced budget the spending per citizen equals the taxation per person. That isn't true in America, when we have a progressive tax rate and a welfare system. It's rigged, I say!

I'm a former Conservative, and after feeling a little estranged with the ideology for some time, I finally picked up The Fountainhead and loved it. I can now say that I'm an Objectivist. So, I thought I'd join a forum with some like-minded people.
And for the ice breaker, my favorite animal sound is "Moo".
Is Ken Follett a closet Objectivist?

Come to think of it, there are some similarities between Jack and Howard Roark
