Ayn Rand Welfare

As an autonomous individual, I am sole owner and beneficiary of my self-identified extraordinary genius, industry, and vision.

Society should reward me for all this genius, industry, and vision I have convinced myself that I have. My genius and unque utility to human society are demonstrated by the fact that I read Ayn Rand books and think they are about me.

Consequently, I devote myself to reading pop-philosophy young-adult science-fiction bodice-rippers, generally annoying people and waiting for the magical arrival of the rewards.

And if those rewards do not arrive, it is because of the parasites!!!

Signed,
That Guy

last weekend. He stopped by our environmental booth hoping to poke holes in our efforts while promoting Ayn Rand. Turned out he was a retired nuclear scientist (the weapons kind) who held a grudge against the Pentagon for not pursuing his suggestions during the Cold War. He lives that bitterness still.

He said he had cut himself off from society but I told him that could not be the case since he was standing in a farmer's market, drove there on city streets etc. He then walked away. Guess I was too stupid for his vast superiority!
