I find the argument and philosophy that Rand poses as simplistic. On the other hand I think her examples of rampant socialism and the deletrious effects fairly on the mark.

Her nightmare vision of a world embracing solcialism seems more accurate than her idealistic and cartoonish characters.

Great tactic. When faced with vocal opposition to one's preferred ideology, accuse the opposer of promoting paedophilia.

I might consider using that approach myself one day, in the unlikely even of me both suffering irreparable brain damage, and becoming a colossal bell-end.

Wait, we are talking about the adorable sceptic and humanist, James Randi?

Sorry Elok. You're right, it's unfair to associate Asperger's and sociopathy.

I can't imagine why we would necessarily sympathize with Objectivism.
I wasn't making a statement about Rand. Don't know who they are. Couldn't care less about one more American political whacko.

The statement simply appealed to me in a more general sense in terms of ... people "who are so preoccupied with preserving the crystalline perfection of their own internal logic that they fail to spot that when viewed as a whole their philosophy is barking mad."

I like it, it's concise. It neatly sums up how I feel about some 'coherent systems of thought.'

I didn't see it as disparaging genuine sufferers of Asperger's. Sorry for the mistake and thanks for setting me straight.

You might stop ripping off Viz first. But that's unlikely. You've lost the plot, haven't you? Go on- see if you can find some other unconnected smear tactic in lieu of anything actually credible. You've already alienated both sides of this particular debate so it's not as if you've got anything to lose.

Ack, "Aspergers sufferers." Do you call AIDS "the gay plague" too?

...oh, let's just drop the argument. Just bear in mind that you come across as insensitive, if not downright rude.
