call me stoopid, but Punk Rock came and went long before Fall Out Boy.

I have my doubts about Libertarianism. I have yet to see any Libertarian produce an working platform. Maybe this is due to the philosophy’s core tenet: that of little to no government.

As for Ayn Rand, she is an author and not a messiah. People show their maturity and true intentions by which of those two images they choose to define her.

they never seem to talk about her philosophical books. There is a reason for that. Her novels are somewhat entertaining. Her philosophy is indefensible.
