Ti Ya-hu Si Ayn Rand

Published on Monday, March 5, 2012 by The Guardian/UK How Ayn Rand Became the New Right's Version of Marx Her psychopathic ideas made billionaires feel like victims and turned millions of followers into their doormats by George Monbiot   It has a fair claim to be the ugliest philosophy the postwar world has produced. Selfishness, it contends, is good, altruism evil, empathy and compassion are irrational and destructive. The poor deserve to die; the rich deserve unmediated power. It has already been tested, and has failed spectacularly and catastrophically. Yet the belief system constructed by Ayn Rand , who died 30 years ago today, has never been more popular or influential. Rand was a Russian from a prosperous family who emigrated to the United States. Through her novels (such as Atlas Shrugged) and her nonfiction (such as The Virtue of Selfishness) she explained a philosophy she called Objectivism.

Impeachment

Wexler Wants Hearings A website everyone interested in justice and a new direction for the United States of America, should check out, and become involved in. For those in Guam and the other territories who don't vote for President, don't have a vote that counts in Congress, yet get sent in huge numbers to the frontlines every American war, the issue of impeachment is still very important. We may not be "full" members of the American family , but the abuses of power that take place at the White House, Congress, the Pentagon all very much affect us. I wrote last week about the ways in which Guam has been brought into the War on Terror. When Donald Rumsfeld and Company were looking for a place to detain their freshly captured enemy combatants, Guam was one option. This is just one instance where we on Guam could have been made accesories to the abuses and excesses of power and authority that the Bush Administration has wrought. Thankfully the island was spared this, b

The article, from The Guardian, below provides some perspective on the "treatment" of prisoners, with a good bit of truthful humor mixed in. It is only the belief in American inherent "exceptionalism" and unbreakable moral goodness, and therefore thay they posess alone the right to dictate and determine the nature of the world, that allows people in this country uncritically condemn the treatment of these 15 British prisoners by Iran, despite an incredible amount of evidence, from extraordinary rendition to Guantanamo Bay, which shows clearly that the that the only thing that makes the United States "exceptional" in this regard, is the way its Government and most of its population can remain blind to the violence it perpetuates at home, abroad and in a "no man's land" like GITMO. ******** Published on Saturday, March 31, 2007 by The Guardian/UK Call That Humiliation?
