re: #15 marjoriemoon

I think she tends to attract young people who are more apt to wrestle with faith or religious issues. Not that older folks haven’t been attracted to her, but I really do agree with Virginia upthread that she attracts sociopaths.

Well, this was interesting since when we discussed her in class, the people who said they were most attracted to her philosophy were also people who described themselves as religious. I myself have never seen the appeal of her philosophy. I mean I was seeing and reading her works when I was at my most radical left but the idea that charity and alturism are immoral is just disturbing as hell to me now as a more moderate left of center liberal as it was when I had socialist beliefs.
