Like many of you, I was disappointed when BioShock ended, so I signed up for e-mails from the Ayn Rand Institute. It’s like getting an e-mail from Andrew Ryan every day. Here’s an excerpt from a recent e-mail.
If tapping Arctic oil reserves to supply our energy needs might affect the caribou, environmentalists demand that we leave vast tracts of Arctic tundra completely untouched. If a new freeway bypass will ease traffic congestion but might disturb the dwarf wedge mussel, environmentalists side with the mollusk against man. If a “wetland” is a breeding ground for disease-carrying insects, environmentalists fight to prevent it being drained no matter the toll of human suffering.
Ah, it’s like finding a new audiotape.

Maybe they should get the actor who played Andrew Ryan to read audiobook versions of Rand’s stuff.

Maybe, but he’s also the same guy who played Quark on DS9.
