I moved this thread because CC is not populated -- to any great extent that I'm aware of -- by Objectivists and DUmbasses howl like wet cats at any mention of Rand; preferring socialism and/or statist control to anything the author would suggest.
Since the thread does not cite DU or address any topic to its lurkers it has been moved.
Boo, I don't know what you fascination with Objectivists is but you're going to get more pie comments than engagement in dialogue. It just doesn't mean much here.

This is the section for bringing over illuminating posts from places like DU or other sites that specialize in liberal lunacy and other assorted shenanigans. This is not (bold style of the word "not" isn't a contribution from Boojatta) a “DU Only†section. Feel free to include posts from other places besides DU.Please note that an explanation isn't a justification. I trust that, although my error can be explained, it was nevertheless an error.
Boo, I don't know what your fascination with Objectivists is, but you're going to get more pie comments than engagement in dialogue. It just doesn't mean much here.Thanks for the heads up. If I forget that, then please feel free to repeat the above on the board or in a private message. To repeat, thank you. I mean it when I say it.
This is not a “DU Only†section. Feel free to include posts from other places besides DU.
To keep it simple, I have provided a sequence of assertions. However, please feel free to contest any of them. Among the assertions, there might be some that I reached as a result of errors, and there might be some that should be replaced with other assertions that have similar significance, but that are less misleading, more accurate, or more easily demonstrated than what I provided below.
1. Objectivism is connected with Ayn Rand.
2. Ayn Rand declared that Leonard Peikoff was her intellectual heir.
3. Leonard Peikoff indicated that, in his opinion, it's probably a good idea for Objectivists to vote for the Democratic Party.
4. The Democratic Party is connected with liberalism.
5. There is a notable amount of lunacy and/or evasion practiced on message boards owned and/or administered by people who describe themselves as "students of Objectivism" and/or "Objectivists."

Wait!
We had pie?
How come nobody told me we had pie?
Eight slices. Eight people and one rabbit. Not that hard to figure out, really.
:-)
I know Ayn Rand, do not know Leonard Peikoff. Do not have the wherewithal to look up his writings so I am just going to order some keylime pie.Good choice. :cheersmate:
Rabbit pie.
Rabbit pie.

Mmmmm, pie.

Big Dogs get pie. Little dogs and only snivel and whine close to the floor.
The moral of this story?I estimate he took a 57degree bite out of that pi.

I beg to differ, Eupher. Coconut is the work of the debl.
Pecan Pie is disgusting. Pure, wiggly sugar. So sweet your head will explode.
Blueberry, now that's my favorite fruit, makes a hellofa pie. Also, did you know that Ocean Spray diet blueberry juice is extremely delicious, and is only 5 calories? Makes a great cocktail, too, by adding ice and a snifter of vokka.
I was just making an aside about the juice. It's just really good, that's all. Not on my high horse about calories and fat grams at all.
