Nifty. Not entirely historicly accurate, but mighty nifty. I'll wait to
see what you have to say about the Surrealists before I tear you a new
asshole. But I thought I might just point out something you keep doing,
as follows:

David, for a so called "Objectivists" your post is filled to the hilt with
*subjective* value judgements. If you want to make a point and not have
everyone in the list jump your shit every time you do it, try holding back
on the rhetoric a little. If you want to make value judgements then say,
"that's how we got the society we've got /and I think/ it's greedy and
evil!"

Hoping to influence you constructively, but probably just manipulating you,
