    ...and growing after lo these many decades. Prophecy comes in a variety of packages and those who "have eyes to see and ears to hear" understand her writings.

    We must getting to them. I'm surprised that the script writers would even have mentioned Ayn Rand. Maybe this was their subtle way of evangelizing for AR.

    Gary Cooper made Howard Roark come alive the way no one else could have. So much for that criticism.

    A twelve-year-old's view of the world? I'd say the character in "The Good Wife," and the script writers, were trying to throw off on Rand with that remark. I mean: they are the ones with the twelve-year-old's view of the world.

    I think he meant you have more people who want than people who make the things others want.

    In this one clip, I can't tell if the script authors hold the snide view or just the character.

    This is the most biased line, and it's not that bad, in the dialogue spoken by the pro-Rand character: “Because there are more people who want than people who have. Read Ayn Rand.”

    It seems like he may be implying there're not enough goods and services to go around, so we need childish philosophies to justify why some people have more. My opinion, and I think the opinion put forward in AS, is there are infinite goods and services if we only go out and create them.

    I agree with you on the line by Skerrit. He was referring to the moochers and looters, not the lack of goods and services. He also said that he built his company from nothing, lost it in the crash, built it again and are producing a gene that would be good for mankind.

    Alisha is a liberal don't forget, so of course she had to knock it...she doesn't get it, although she has no problems cashing the checks from the producers.

    Yeah, I don't think Ayn Rand would have liked being called a Libertarian... :X
