What really made me smile is that I didn't see the show until Saturday. My little sister, however, was, in fact, in the jury at your show. It happens all the time, and she very much enjoyed her vicarious recognition! I thought it was a cute story; just wanted to share!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934055020219489336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29175306.post-84333017693418727692009-08-12T18:29:10.530-04:002009-08-12T18:29:10.530-04:00David-

Could you explain this a bit more? Maybe an example. I enjoyed the play as well, and as one of the few Objectvists (that I know of) in the Richmond theater community, I'd be interested in the reasons for your comments. <br /><br />Or if you feel it's off-topic for your blog (since it's probably more of a philosophical discussion), feel free to send me an email.<br /><br />As a side note, in her intro to the play, Ms. Rand describes the theme as a test of the audience's "sense of life", and not as a moral justification for a swindler. The play was a way to "dramatize the conflict of independence versus conformity," in her words.<br /><br />Also, just to clarify, you used the term "ubermensch" to describe John Galt, but Ayn Rand was diametrically opposed to Nietzsche. <br /><br />-Bob MurphyBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345669215821876987noreply@blogger.com
