Canada is looking better and better all the time as an escape from this backward country of mine. Too bad it is so damn cold there! Hmmmm, long johns and parkas...could work.

It's 86 degrees in Toronto right now. How hot do you want it? ;)

I find that many people who have opinions on Rand arrive at them second hand and brush her off without really considering her work

Agreed. Out of the many dozens of anti-Rand comments I've read over the years (literally every time her name comes up) I have yet to see anyone criticize her ideas. It's never "I disagree with Objectivism because of x, y and z", just flat-out dismissal. It reminds me of theists discussing atheism.


EDIT: Thanks to denoir!

It's 'Le Tigre'. Ferrari would have been good too.. Magnum a bit too much.

I wouldn't hang that shot on Dawkins. This a photo editor's work. Undoutedly, the photographer's contact sheet had some friendlier expressions to choose from.
