Ayn Rand

There, now all you people hijacking my good Albatross thread can discuss Ayn in peace.  :)

Why must good threads be hijacked? :headscratch:

Please leave my Albatross thread entitled "Midway..." alone unless commenting on the grace, beauty, and skill of the topic at hand.  :aok

Thank you.  :salute

As a result of analysis of mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite DNA information, we know that the Antipodean Albatross and the Tristan Albatross are distinct from the Wandering Albatross.

          I suffered through a few of her books.  Albatross are good luck, but she wasnt into that sort of thing. Luck I mean.

Ayn Rand is awesome, and I love her books more than I love albatrosses even.

She wrote simplistic, juvenile fodder that even she knew was bunk, hence her exclusion of the key component of human life that causes a complete collapse of her fantasy.

I disagree.

What component is that?

With two of her novels listed #1 and #2 in the history of modern journalism, that would say a lot about how wrong your opnion is. :)

Not that kind of Albatross!  Anyways this is the wrong thread for the awesome, beautiful, and skilled Albatross.

See the thread titled "Midway..." if you want to be awed and inspired like me... and would like to join the higher cult of mortals for having seen the Albatross.  :O

PS: You can even watch a baby Albatross grow up right in front of you via live video feed from Hawaii.  :aok
