If you can learn anything about a philosophy from those who claim
follow it, I think by this point we've probably all learned as much
about Objectivism as we can reasonably hope to stomach.  I mean, if
your philosophy works so well in making y'all so gosh darned
_rational_ it must be good for _everybody_, no ?  For me, I'll stick
ObjecTIONism, and along those lines, I object to anything you or
anybody else says about this matter.

Don't misunderstand me, though. I firmly intend to stick to my vow to
vote "Fuck Yes !" to anything anybody proposes, but please could
somebody propose something reasonable this time ?  Say, dunking the
entire Objectivist camp into a large vat of "Fluffernut" ?
