Alright, everyone, I've been called out. And, while the cat is out of the bag, there's more. Since I'm a firm believer in complete and total transparency, I have a few more things to admit to:

-I don't think of man as a gyro
-I do not agree with the benevolent unicycle premise
-I do not believe in the virtue of selflessness
-I do not accept the premise that honesty is immoral (or selfless)
-I do not accept the axiom that existence is existential
-I do not accept the axiom that consciousness can be used for identification (if, say, you've lost your driver's license)

... and ...

-I do not even believe that there really WAS a game-changing, novelist-philosopher named Ann Rand!

That's a lot to admit to. I'm hoping that others here won't jump the gun and throw me overboard about it. It's been almost a decade since I've started participating here and I really needed to get some of this stuff off of my chest (it was eating me up inside).

Said what, Jordan? Please just go back and read what I actually wrote, rather than what you obviously think I wrote. The small print matters.

Yes Ted, go back and read what I originally wrote and not what you obviously think I wrote.

I wrote "advised," not "forbade."

Sheesh, talk about show trials and lynchings...

I object to the purposeful use of words that look like other words in order to get others to think thoughts that are not, themselves, aligned with what it is that you actually did write.

Now, I ask you all with virtually no sincerity:

Does that make me an Objectionist?
