I don't think he believes, and I wouldn't defend it if it were Andre's belief that the perfidy of certain ARI members is anywhere near the level of evil of certain muslims. His choice of parties for comparison calls for a much more careful and explicit distinction to be made in discussing the moral nature of each. But I do understand why he might be opposed to each. And to speak of a policy of "clean breaks" where one party has the crutch of Ayn Rand's Photo inserted in her works with that party's P.O.B. listed as the return address is so funny I could...blank out. It's easy for the well endowed to "break" with whomever they like. One's livelihood is not at risk, and willing new candidates for indoctrination arrive every morning in the mail, unpersons tell few tales. The possible motives of certain benefactors with endowments are explored in an Ayn Rand play, "Think Twice." What an ironic lesson Rand left for us.

"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
