Thanks for the advice I'm leaning more towards it now.

I don't have anything to say about Rand as a prose stylist. All I can say, and all I did say, was that insofar as she considered herself a philosopher, she is a bad one. Her doctrine of selfishness, as I understand it, is circular.

SG:NHS would benefit from this discussion being kept within the group--not to hide dissent, but to put it plainly before everyone there instead of making this an issue between just you and I. There are people in the group who have read Rand and harbour far more disdain for her than I do, and it would do us some good in our ivory tower to have something to talk about other than how smart we all are.

I've just noticed your entry under "makes me sad". For me, it's evenings that do it. In the morning everything's great, but at night all the anxieties and fears come out of their hiding places.
