/>>> I have read and survived Rand. I do not support her<br />>>
objectivism nor her reven[ge]fulness. Not for a moment.<br /><br />> That is
your privilege as a living person... :-) She did seem to have<br />> a
pretty big axe to grind, but given her childhood in communist<br />> Russia,
I can somewhat forgive her over-reaction in the other<br />>
direction.</p><p>I emote, therefore I am.</p><p>> I don't have your location
on the political spectrum Natasha.. is that<br />> because you are eclectic
or eccentric in your political beliefs, or<br />> just that you haven't
said?</p><p>I was a Liberal, Democrat, then an elected Green Councilperson
for LA County. ... Then I started thinking. ... Now "I am neither right
nor left" (Esfandiary). I tend to be more of an insightful Dennis Miller
type than a biased Laura Ingraham type. I am not interested in blame and hate
against those who own companies and provide jobs to others. Nor do I think it
is okay for shareholders to give ridiculous bonuses to themselves and also take
money from the government. And I do not respect presidents to vacation in
Martha?s Vineyard or Tim Buck Two, when people are jobless. And I certainly do
not think that people should be receiving unemployment payout for an extended
period of time. But I do think that one thrives when one cares for others.
Narratives (TV, film, books or whatever) that make money off of dumbing down
society are a terrible crime against humanity.</p><p>My ideological position is
as a designer. I think about socio-economics and biopolitics as a design
problem. My political leaning: "locate the problem, find the most effective
way to resolve it, and get going." This has to be done with an unbiased,
logical methodology for seeing what is most workable, doable with the most
amount of thought/knowledge and the least amount of waste. It is a formula to
resolve rather than to label. </p><p /><br />
