Harry ... you commented to Greg the following:
"You don't understand the college experience. It's not just "the
information," and, no, I am not referring to fraternity
parties."
Never the twain shall meet.
They are both intolerant in their own ways.
Greg will never understand Dostoyevsky, and Harry will
never understand Ayn Rand.
The big difference between them is their exposure to both.
And so it goes.
I read two of Ms. Rand's novels when I was in the 7th grade. I
understand her points and I realized she was just a bloody awful writer
and her prose was turgid, and that would be a compliment.
I tend to agree. I never really understood why people cherry pick the
libertarian jewels out of that crap and then act like she was
Shakespear.
