You kno...Please be a little bit more professional.<br /><br />You know Wikipedia is not reliable, and is usually biased on controversial issues. The article on Yaron Brook looks like it was written by someone who wants to make him look bad.<br /><br />go to www.aynrand.org to see what Yaron Brook actually advocates, and his reasons for it.<br /><br />On second thought, it looks like about all other articles are smear jobs.The Objectivist Club at UCIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08040610349762120125noreply@blogger.com
