SOLOA book I won't be wasting my money on and some other reflectionsSubmitted by Tom Burroughes on Thu, 2010-03-18 15:30
I guess it is inevitable - even a sign that the author is taken seriously - that a lot of people continue to throw rocks at Ayn Rand. A book I came across recently is "Ayn Rand Contra Human Nature", published by Greg Nyquist. You can read some of the Amazon reviews of this tome here (http://www.amazon.com/Ayn-Rand...) Mr Nyquist's blog also continues an almost daily diet of invective against Objectivism, Objectivists, and classical liberalism generally. Indeed the tone of the book is almost guaranteed to rile even the gentlest soul. It reminds me of a certain kind of smart-arse student I used to encounter at my college.

Fat Bastards and WhinersSubmitted by PhilipD on Mon, 2010-03-15 10:26
The New Zealand Human Rights Commission recently released the results of its ‘perceptions of discrimination’ public opinion survey. The commission clowns tell us that when respondents were asked ‘Who do you believe suffers “a great deal” or “some” discrimination?’ Asians topped the list. People on welfare, overweight people, recent immigrants, refugees, Pacific people and Maori, followed the Asians in the discrimination perception stakes.
