Politically Incorrect Editorial, Wed, May 25
by Lindsay Perigo
Yesterday I wrote about certain similarities between New Zealand and Germany in light of the latter's weekend election results.

The object lesson that Germany & New Zealand both currently provide is this: as long as capitalism-& a mongrelised mixed-economy version of it at that-is promoted on collectivist grounds, it is doomed to win battles but lose the war. (Read more...)

PI Editorial. Wed May 29

They are without flaw, failing or foible. In reality, they don't exist. But such is the power of Ayn Rand's projection of them that many Objectivists will settle for nothing less in their own lives.
