Well, that is certainly a load of laughable pie in the sky. Message to planet Ayn Rand: Human beings live in complex societies. Human beings historically don't do too well on their own. There is a concept of civitas worth considering. Does the writer live in self-sustaining bubble out in the desert? Does he drive on the roads, does he have a library card, does he drink clean water out of a tap, does he take Social Security, does he avail himself of public services and Tucson Parks and Recreation? <\/p>\n
There is give and take. Services are taken and payment is given. This applies morally as well. Principles are nice. But instead of citing Patrick Henry, the writer should adopt a roadway and pick up some trash. Be a citizen. <\/p>\n
