RE: Adam I am currently a Student, Junior in Highschool. RE: MIchael (Kelly) My mind has been opened lately to the economic / philosophic ideals of Ayn Rand. Prior to a few weeks ago, I was very set on trying to accommodate my desires for the country with either Democratic or Republican parties, as well as my philosophic ideas to the current, "cookie cutter" ideas. After several discussions, though, as well as some traversing of this website, I am becoming more open to ideas that are not fully democratic or republican, as well as philosophies that are not the most prevalent in today's society. While my mind is not closed, I am eager to dive deeper into the teachings of Ayn Rand and further open it. RE: Michael (Marotta) I do best at English, and within the field of written language is where I plan on pursuing a career. Journalism is what I am currently planning on both earning a living with as well as majoring in, with a minor in Philosophy. I am also an aspiring writer, which I what I enjoy doing in my free time, and am trying to accomplish a full-fledged novel over this coming summer. I was thinking of attending a school in California, and the only specific one I've found with courses that interest me is Chapman University in Orange, Cali. I have yet to read any of Rands books, but when I read some, I'll be sure to post what I think of them And to all others who welcomed me to the forums, I am much appreciative
