Tornadoes: WWARD?
In light of the destruction left in the wake of the tornadoes this week, I'm interested in finding out What Would Ayn Rand Do?

2. Have a stiff drink, most likely.
Then, if it didn't affect her directly, she'd shrug it off. That's my guess.

4. Exactly why some wont learn.
Edited on Fri Apr-29-11 02:23 PM by RandomThoughts
Anyone effected is said that they must have fallen from grace, and those not yet effected think they are still in right.


They don't compare actions, they only look at where they are as some defender of where they should be.


From that only enforcement can show them, but that creates purge, and they have to be destroyed to help them, the only argument for how hell can exist. Because someone wont learn.



In my personal situation it was not hardship that taught me, I believed most leaders sided with better thoughts and concepts, but when I saw that was not true, it became clear that something had to be done, so I defended due process and the concepts of having to be an equal system of justice when those concepts were attacked by 'wanabees' going after some crippled guy. I am glad it did not take hardship on me to get me to fight against something that was wrong.

6. She'd blame all those people for building houses in the wrong place
and then encourage John Galt to go in and snap up all the land at a bargain price.

7. Here's what one of her acolytes wrote about the Katrina Hurricane disaster:
Edited on Fri Apr-29-11 03:05 PM by DeSwiss
In a free market--without tax-paid levees, government disaster relief, or subsidized insurance--anyone who contemplates building or buying property in a high-hazard area will need to face hard facts about the local history of natural disasters, the efficacy and cost of preventive measures, and the availability of insurance.

For example, the high price--or total unavailability--of private insurance will resound like a clanging alarm bell, signaling the market's objective view that a particular building plan is abnormally risky compared to less dangerous locales.

With their own lives and wealth at stake, people will have every incentive to evaluate risks objectively. And if hardy souls still choose to occupy and fortify New Orleans, or build on an earthquake fault, or live in a tornado alley, the risk and reward will be theirs alone. No longer will government make disasters more disastrous by pretending that citizens have a right to defy the forces of nature at others' expense.

Thomas A. Bowden is an analyst at the Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights, focusing on legal issues. Mr. Bowden is a former lawyer and law school instructor who practiced for twenty years in Baltimore, Maryland.

So in-keeping with her objectivist views, I would say that her response would most likely be, "damn you really fucked-up when you chose to live in a house in a state that has tornadoes. Next time you should move to a place where disasters don't ever occur."

- Or some similar asshattery......

8. ayn -rand
was a twisted bottom feeder, I'm sure she would giggle and say
"thats exactly how it should look, finding devastation
divine and death deliciously dark and timely." and
lightening would strike her as she continued to drink the
kook-aid laced with a pal-rush-han-beck( that's german for
rich and crazy as hell) 
okay, maybe i went to far, she might just say "perfection
achieved"
