ThankYouAyn

Thanks!

Phil, you've got about 80 words here. It's good, but I think it could stand to be a little longer. I think it may be more effective if you 1) mention how fast INDIVIDUALS would lose their remaining freedoms, once they lose freedom of expression through speech and press, and point out that the same would happen to corporations; 2) point out how it is not in the self interest of consumers and workers to hobble American corporations by removing their ability to protect themselves. Hobbling the corporations will lead to loss of jobs, collapsing pension plans, higher prices, etc. Appeal to principles--connected to self-interest. Find out the editors length limit. For my local newspaper it is 300 words. Norman

Hello, friends of objectivist philosophies, Many of this forum's posts look quite interesting, so I've signed up. Various philosophical issues are important to me, and I'd also like to invent or discover effective ways to make some pro-freedom institutional changes before I bite the dust. I started with Fountainhead around 1967. Attended some of the NBI courses around 1968, just before the Split. Helped Libertarian Party efforts in NJ in the early 70s, co-published a small-circulation libertarian journal for a short time, and, in Austin, Texas, during the 1980 political campaign season, helped get the Libertarian Party's candidates on the state's ballot. I married my wife (born the year of the Dragon) in 1975; that's the inspiration for my screen name in this forum. We currently live near Phoenix, AZ. We are aware of, and appreciate, Mike Renzulli's efforts in the Phoenix area. --Norman Andrews, aka DragonsMate.
