    Free Market Revolution

    It is and is hijacking. But I really dont mind quoting more things Yaron Brook says, it will just do him even more justice to do so. I will be quoting some from this excellent article in The Objective Standard titled: "Just War Theory” vs. American Self-Defense written by Yaron Brook...

    Leonard Peikoff: The DIM Hypothesis

    I understand a vast majority of it, I only have not had a good survey of certain subjects and cultures. I'm not a DIM-wit though as Peikoff's shirt said when giving a lecture on it, but I am almost through it and plan to write more about it soon, and hopefully I can make more sense of it for...

    Radical Handmaid's

    While people may have objections to a woman wanting a girl instead of a boy, I know that when I planned to have a child with my ex-wife, it was a child we wanted primarily not gender specific child, (and we did have one, a girl), the point of all this is, abortion is and should be a woman's...

    Radical Handmaid's

    Not allowing a woman the right to abortion, for any reason whatsoever that she decides to have one during any point of her pregnancy, would be destroying the concept of... individual rights. This is the foundation of gender equality - the concept of individual rights is applicable to both...

    Radical Handmaid's

    Regardless, if a woman choices to have an abortion because of the gender of the fetus, or because the fetus is not there by her permission as in case of rape, or she may die during pregnancy, or because of something wrong with fetus and does not want to have such a burden upon her, or because...

    Radical Handmaid's

    A woman has the right to abortion, sex selection abortion, too, which I think you are bringing up. She has the right to abortion, no matter what her reasons for having one, whether rational or irrational, her right does not change any.

    Gay marriage

    Right, it should not. The only moral political economic social system that actually does recognize, uphold, protect individual rights, that of laissez-faire capitalism, this would not be an issue as it is today. There would be a clearly defined separation of State and religion, and State and...
