Respected Objectivists, I warn you, due to my admiration for your integrity and moral standards, not to fall into the intellectual trap that is SoloHQ, populated not by Objectivists but by post-modern nihilists/hedonists in Objectivist guise.

G. Stolyarov II
Just as a man who will eat anything so long as and only if it is green will fail to differentiate lettuce from poison ivy, so will the traditionalist fail to separate good from evil. G. Stolyarov II Hazing, Collectivism, and Traditionalism
Ecology is to biology what astrology is to astronomy. G. Stolyarov II
An intellectual who scorns politics is like a mathematician who scorns numbers. He does not count. G. Stolyarov II
The government under laissez-faire is lazy, but fair. G. Stolyarov II
