    He was talking about her economical view; which actually conflicts with her state objectivism view.

    Ann Rand* wasn't a true objectivists when it came to politics and economics. She refused to base her opinion on actual facts of the time. It was rooted deeply into her experience as a teen when the new government took her fathers shop away. She was a person who believe that corporations would take care of the people if left to their own devices; something history show is wrong.

    Ron Paul is a libertarian the same way Robber Barons where libertarians. You can't take whats mine, but I'm more important then you so I can take whats yours.

    laissez-fair economics do not work in a global market place. hell, they don't even work when the goods in one are are produced by people on the other side of the country. You just end up with bullies and the bullied.

    *Yes I did that on purpose. neener neener.

    It's the .com for a potential presidential candidate. Presidential candidate will pay 250K+ for a few 30 second spot on TV that will only happen over a few short weeks.
    The .com is a long term investment. Clearly worth more the 250K.

    There is nothing wrong with domain squatting. And yes, I've been saying that since Domain came into existence. It got a bad rap because people with foresight bought a bunch, and geeks without foresight deemed it unfair.
