The question for “Our Cultural Value-Deprivation” have now been posted to the OPAR board. You can attend in person, or join the group for discussing them via email.

The next meeting will take place at the Carrollton Starbucks at 3pm on April 26, 2009. The meeting will be on Ayn Rand’s essays, “How to Read (and not to Write)” in The Voice of Reason. I will have the question prepared by this week before the meeting. While short, I think this is an important essay.

You can participate via email if you join the group.

The next meeting will take place at the Carrollton Starbucks at 3pm on April 26, 2009. The meeting will be on Ayn Rand’s essays, “How to Read (and not to Write)” in The Voice of Reason.

The study questions for the essay are posted on the OPAR Study Group board.

I think this essay is similar to her essay on philosophic detection.

The next meeting will be on “The Lessons of Vietnam” by Ayn Rand in The Voice of Reason. The meeting place will be the usual Carrollton Starbucks at 3pm. You can also participate via email to the group list, if you like.

I’m not sure when I can get the questions done, as my work schedule for this week is uncertain.

David Croft and I have decided to branch out to the Meetup.com family, in the hopes that we can attract new members and get old members to participate more. Anyone currently on the OPAR email list is welcome to join, though you need a meetup.com account to be able to do so (it will set one up for you when you join this group). Not much will be changing, but we think the great advertising and linked up meetup groups might be better than the old Yahoo group. For a while, I will be making announcements on both boards.

This group is more of a discussion / book study group, and therefore one does not yet have to be an Objectivist to join. We do ask that only those serious about learning about Ayn Rand get involved in the discussions. Some disagreements are possible and you can still be a member, but outright denouncing and trashing Ayn Rand and her ideas will not be tolerated.

The Questions for “Apollo 11” and “Epitaph for a Culture” have been posted to our two boards. You can participate in person or join our groups and participate via email or the message boards.
