Hmm, again and again...

Been away too long. Got to get back. And as usual, it is a book that prompts me into writing. However, no new book this. For the umpteenth time, turned the pages of Atlas Shrugged. Whew!! haven't I mentioned enough of that book already! I can hear cries of plea, of restrain.

This time, Henry Rearden meets with Francisco D' Anconia, in a party

Leo's worthlessness does not make Kira less worthy. Galt's worth does not increase francisco's worth. Akston would say, "Check your premises." We were discussing why Kira was 'conniving' and why francisco was a 'hero', not leo's and galt's comparitive worth. Kira is *also* doing it for a cause she thinks worthy. I did not say Francisco is doing it for Galt. I said he believes his duty to Galt to be greater. As a matter of fact, if my memory serves me correctly, he even tells Dagny that he would have given his life for Rearden if he hadn't already promised it to Galt. Anyway, in essence, the two 'deceptions' *are* the same.

Yes, you already said whatever about Christ. The point was not whether you cared or did not care or your religious origin, just to indicate the flawed nature of your reasoning w.r.t. heroes.

No, Venky wasn't *dragged* into the conversation. He introduced himself into the conversation. The comment was not directed at his opinions, but at his reading (or lack thereof), a topic that he himself introduced into the thread. Also, this will be my last post on your worthy journal. I am accustomed, in general, to more amiable responses.

"just to indicate the flawed nature of your reasoning w.r.t. heroes."
I am not going to defend that once again.

"this will be my last post on your worthy journal"
So be it.

"I am accustomed, in general, to more amiable responses."
So am I.
