Quote of the Day

"Ayn Rand is sort of the hair metal of moral philosophy. It appeals to people with the mentality of a 12-14 year old male, but if you're still listening to it in your 40s, there's something seriously wrong with your mind."

As the saying goes:

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.

One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.

The other, of course, involves orcs. "
