re: #664 Nimed

A talk-radio host like Limbaugh neatly exemplifies one of the many Randian fallacies — that people have some intrinsic worth rewarded by the market but largely independent of society. Put Limbaugh in any other country (especially a non-English speaking one), and suddenly you have a 60 year old man who can’t do shit. His status and success is completely dependent on the desire that some American “moochers” and “looters” have to listen to him. A “Galt’s Gulch” full of Limbaughs would starve.

I can just see him walking around with a little basket, harvesting oxycontin in the wild…
