SQUEAK respondents are hate-filled value-destoyers - By: , 13 Aug 1999 
These people writing about the SQUEAK stuff are value-destroyers, second-handers, looters, parasites, & haters of the good for being the good. Ayn Rand discovered & integrated the ONLY completely true & completely rational philosophy EVER. People who know this & subscribe to her beliefs are not 'cultists' - we are merely people who KNOW RATIONALLY that she was rightin everything she said & that the future of the world depends on our putting her principles into practice. And people who disagree with her have NO RATIONAL GROUNDS FOR DOING SO - they are merely evading reason & reality & showing themselves up for the subhuman wretches they are.
When Atlas finally shrugs, these lice will be put out of their misery as they so richly deserve - and, indeed, as they really WANT according to the premises they have CHOSEN. Ayn Rand was right about them too - they have FREELY CHOSEN the premises of DEATH, & that is just what they will get.
In the name of the best within us!

Maybe that SQUEAKing person is showing us what the "return of the primitive" looks like!?

Who is this person SQUEAKing about 'dessert' & what have his comments to do with this book?
Does this review indicate the calibre of person who thinks highly of Rand? I am afraid it does.

How come it seems theat Ayn Rand's strongest critics cannot seem to reason very well, eventhough they purport to having good grammar abilities? Hmmm....maybe being capable of correct spelling, without correct reasoning (i.e. logic), isn't worth as much as cheese on a stick? Squeek, squeek, dodge....run....hide. Listen to me! Look at my grammar...only, please don't apply reason to what I have written/ said. please
SQUEAK!
This is another of Rand's whopping success! - By: , 18 May 1999 
Return of the primitive: The anti industrial revolution is a modernized version of Rand's original work from the 1960's: The New Left: The Anti-Industrial Revolution. I have read Atlas Shrugged, Fountainhead, Anthem, We the Livng, Philosophy Who Needs It, Virtue of Selfishness...all by Ayn Rand. This book, The Anti-Industrial Revolution,in its original form is a very high quality addition to your Ayn Rand library.
Originally written at the suggestion of student/ reader, The Anti industrial revolution is a good application of Rand's philosopy to the troubles which plauged society both today & at the time of its writing, the riotous 1960's. Here you will see Rand analyse famous events such as Woodstock.. the mud pit fiasco of pot smoking non productive tribal minded people, & Apollo the launch representing man's highest abilities: the culmination of industry & technologyin to man's greatest achievement to date (1960's). You will hear rand compare & contrast Woodstock with Apollo & you will be both surprised & enlightened.
The chapter on the comprachinos will take you for a psychological tour of what makes a man develope as a thinking individual, or not, from the time of birth through adolescence. Rand takes you on a virtual tour of a childs life, showing you which points are critical to the developement of individuality: the ability to percieve objectively. If you are concerned about what, if any, detrimental effects day care centers may have on the development of your child, you can find guidance here with Rand's writings.
Over all the book, composed of many short articles by Rand, is a very good addition to your works by Rand. I believe you will find it to be of the same high quality as other works by Rand. A really good book for those interestedin reading some Rand for the first or fifth time.
