[Cincinatus' Wife]

The collective? Assigning “dignity” to the collective “world” and setting yourself up as the arbiter of how to fix the straw man, eh Rand? Newspeak, bullcrap, twisted totalitarianism. Invent-a-phrase fraud. “Hope and change” was already taken.

Exactly - I see there is some confusion and "head scratching" about his use of the word "dignity" and how "dignity" fits into real world situations. [Which made me think that perhaps he is substituting it to dilute religion and draw in - as he is quite strategically doing - secular voters, free thinkers, etc.] It is true we are all extremely sensitive now, more than ever, on how words and phrases are more than just expressions and words in a speech and that we need to understand just what they portend.
