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.
Steve:
Maybe they should get the actor who played Andrew Ryan to read audiobook versions of Rand’s stuff.
Terry:
Maybe, but he’s also the same guy who played Quark on DS9.
