[The One and Only...]

Actually, I couldn't access the computer because I moved.

Still, burbank seems to be dodging the issues here.

Why isn't Objectivism a philosophy? Your opinions on its stupidity aside, it fits the criteria perfectly.

Furthermore, why do you reject Objectivism for, if nothing else, its radical egoism? Hedonistic egoism is a very old philosophy that goes far beyond Objectivism. Indeed, there are three main philosophical forms of hedonism: egoism, utilitarianism, and altruism. Granted, I more or less accept utilitarianism via egoism (which is paradoxical, but that is why I said more or less)... but that is not the point.

I never said that the air pollution thing proves that pollution is getting better, but the other information in the novel - as well as little evidence that suggests the contrary - should speak for itself, not to mention if you apply a little rationalism to the idea.

I'd really like to know exactly when burbank ever made me his bitch, except in some infantile minds who post here.
