  1. Wow. It's obvious Obama didn't understand Ayn Rand in college and STILL doesn't understand her now. I would bet that his exposure to her in college was as an enemy-philosopher of the collectivist movements he so eagerly embraced. Obama really thinks that man is a cog to be used as a serf for the State collective. HOW ON EARTH he still has as many projected Electoral votes as he does now speaks volumes of the Americans lost in the self inflicted downward spiral of collectivist brute worship and envy. Oh reason, raise thy banner high once again that man may no longer grovel for bread, but command his own life!

  3. How do you define "the desire to be better than others"? What is your premise and definition? Are you speaking of a superiority complex? Ambition and competitiveness are also not mutually exclusive, either, but depends on the context.

  4. I wouldn't say that competition is "the desire to be better than other people", but rather the desire to be one's personal best. Winning is also about pride; pride in achieving an accomplishment. I don't think less of someone just because I may excel at something better than they or may have bested them in an event. Competition is also about fun.-how far can we go?-what records can be broken?-what comraderies can be built?
