More From Ayn Rand

It must be stressed that there is nothing insulting about looking at people as animals. we are animals, after all. homo sapiens is a species of primate, a biological phenomenon dominated by biological rules, like any other species. human nature is no more than one particular kind of animal nature. agreed, the human species is an extraordinary animal; but all other species are also extraordinary animals, each in their own way, and the scientific man-watcher can bring many fresh insights to the study of human affairs if he can retain this basic attitude of evolutionary humility.

It had been held that the economic system, any capitalist system, found its equilibrium at full employment. left to itself, it was thus that it came to rest. idle men and idle plant were an aberration, a wholly temporary failing. keynes showed that the modern economy could as well find its equilibrium with continuing, serious unemployment. its perfectly normal tendency was to what economists have since come to call an underemployment equilibrium.

The entire function of man is to survive. the outermost limit of endeavour is creative work. anything less is too close to simple survival until death happens along. so i am engaged in striving to maintain equilibrium sufficient to at least realize survival in a way to astound the gods.

Nature is man's inorganic body -- that is to say, nature insofar as it is not the human body. man lives from nature -- i.e., nature is his body -- and he must maintain a continuing dialogue with it is he is not to die. to say that man's physical and mental life is linked to nature simply means that nature is linked to itself, for man is a part of nature.

Traditional sales and marketing involves increasing market shares, which means selling as much of your product as you can to as many customers as possible. one-to-one marketing involves driving for a share of customer, which means ensuring that each individual customer who buys your product buys more product, buys only your brand, and is happy using your product instead of another to solve his problem. the true, current value of any one customer is a function of the customer's future purchases, across all the product lines, brands, and services offered by you.

The widespread abuse of prisoners is a virtually foolproof indication that politicians are trying to impose a system--whether political, religious or economic--that is rejected by large numbers of the people they are ruling. just as ecologists define ecosystems by the presence of certain "indicator species" of plants and birds, torture is an indicator species of a regime that is engaged in a deeply anti-democratic project, even if that regime happens to have come to power through elections.

I believe the american people are more concerned with a man's views and abilities than with the church to which he belongs. i believe the founding fathers meant it when they provided in article vi of the constitution that there should be no religious test for public office. and i believe that the american people mean to adhere to those principles today.

... for all our alarm, it is clear that the religious right is responding to a real hunger in our society... a deep-seated yearning for stable values... when conservative christian groups talk of failures in our educational system, the erosion of our moral standards, and the waste of young lives, they are addressing real and legitimate concerns... among secularists, the aversion toward discussion of moral values, let alone religion, can reach absurd extremes.

Let the bible be the bible. it's not about science. it's not accurate history. it is a grab bag of religious fantasies written by many authors. some of its myths, like the star of bethlehem, are very beautiful. others are dull and ugly. some express lofty ideals, such as the parables of jesus. others are morally disgusting.
Beautiful Religious Jesus
Voters are more than catholics, protestants or jews. they make up their minds for many diverse reasons, good and bad. to submit the candidates to a religious test is unfair enough - to apply it to the voters is divisive, degrading and wholly unwarranted.
