I have been a avid fan of Objectivism but i was a practiioner long before that. At age 17 in 1960 I figured out how the world works and when i read For the New Intellectual in 1968 I suddenly felt that I was vindicated. I subscribed to the Objectivist news letter in the late sixites. My belief in the principles of Objectivism has never waivered. I have preached them all my adult life. Sadly I have found that the average person is so lacking in critical thinking skills that there is no getting past the deer in the headlights look. That being the case I am alone in my world. As you can see by my age I don't have much time left on this intellectually barren rock. I would like to reach out and touch someone before I leave this veil of tears.
