A shame we can never hope for a reunion.

I never understood people who undertook detailed planning of their own funeral as if they're going to be there to enjoy it.

Define "inequality". And capitalism and oppression are inherently antithetical.

But I wasn't expecting that you liked her because of HOW she writes. That's just.... weird.


EDIT: Allyssa, I don't think so. That's why I find it weird. He specifically says it's about storytelling. To a level, that's even worse, but at least we can give him the benefit of the doubt and not assume he's an objectivist.

Assume away, sweetheart.

Actually, it's BB&T. Their CEO, John Allison, is an Objectivist. They are donating money to business schools to start courses studying the history, economics and morality of capitalism.

And you should know that BB&T refused to take government funds and saw this sub-prime nonsense on the horizon and wanted no part of it.
