Well said, Ed. It's so ironic that many of the antagonists on this thread (and anywhere Ayn Rand, or even libertarianism is the subject) cite "Me-ism", or ego-centrism, as the problem with our philosophy, when excessive subjectivity (or insufficient objectivity) is an entirely self-centered affliction. They are so wrapped up with their own feelings, their own point of view, that it is impossible for them to take a rational, outside view of the situation, if only for a moment.
Thanks!
