Nice comments. I don't have time to do your thoughts justice right now (1 min to class time) but I was referencing Maslow, and I am a fan of Nietzsche, and the word "should" brings up red flags for me no matter who says it. I think Rand was more a-moral than im-moral. And I agree that my opening line doesn't cover everyone, it's a huge generalization....must run. Blessed BE!
