To use an expression, you are "my kind" of Objectivist. What I mean is that there are many disagreements amongst Objectivists about politics, art (especially movies), war, etc. But I almost always find that after I read one of your blog entries I say to myself "he must have read my mind." And this is especially true for the way you are able to detect the presence of altruism in the culture. To paraphrase Tom Cruise from Risky Business, "you can smell altruism as if it were dog shit." <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for maintianing a great Objectivist blog.madmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14375140131881725965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129587.post-15701347705779358282007-04-25T00:15:00.000-07:002007-04-25T00:15:00.000-07:00Thanks for commenting, Mike.

I'm more concerned with people attacking and destroying my work onstage, a fact which is obvious from my writings on the subject. Don't suborn me into whatever agenda you're constructing--my reactions and assessments of the value of passing judgment VARY ACCORDING TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES, as they do for all rational people.<BR/><BR/>If you'd like to deconstruct my thinking I suggest you become familiar with my work--and for the record, I would be delighted if this asinine event had not occurred. I would still have my notes, and my career, which has been flourishing, would continue. Instead I am responding to people named Myrhaf on teh intarwebs who haven't the faintest idea about me or my work.<BR/><BR/>Yes, that's my fault and responsibility--I own that. I should have my head examined.Mike Daiseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161526278159425496noreply@blogger.com
