Backlighting

Excellent LV!!!!

"The key to Rand’s enduring popularity is that she appeals not to the immaturity but to the idealism of youth."

It is that simple.

It sure is, but I remember reading in the Objectivist Newsletter a readers question:

"How does one lead a rational life in an irrational society?"

If anyone can provide AR's answer or a link to what she replied I would be most appreciative.

It's a chapter in VoS. Her first rule was "never fail to pronounce moral judgement."

Chapter 8. In The Virtue of Selfishness. If you do not own her works, used bookstores have them. (So do stores that sell new books, as all of hers remain in print.) Your local library has them, also.

The teachers requested the books, and I doubt that those teachers number in the millions.

Onkar, with respect, those millions of schoolteachers did not request Rand's books. You offered to send them for free.School boards are cash strapped as everyone knows.

Bull.
