Time Magazine just presented the 10 top ideas that will likely dominate the world for the next 10 years, and made predictions of what would dominate society even up to the year 2050.

The views of the 10 writers of these 10 articles, seem to reflect a recurrent theme that is the carrier of the current vogue of conventionalism that so dominates mainstream opinion.

The right of a Montgomery County (Md.) middle school student not to stand up and recite the pledge of allegiance is being defended by the ACLU, who is fighting to compel an apology from the teacher who punished the student for not complying. The student was sent to the principal’s office and the student’s parents later 'counseled ' by the school administration to have the student apologize.

Our country is in such great part founded on the right of dissent, even if that means being against the US itself in belief or opinion.

There are two strands of modern American feminism, all other categories seem to be variations of the following two:

1. Conservative Feminism--in which the national mainstream culture's vision of sex is rejected and made conservative, hence any visual public disclosure of the female body, especially for money, is wrong, and in all cases, an example of male or otherwise, exploitation of women.

2. Liberal Feminism--where the national vision of sex for women is embraced (i.e. free love) and taken in to be a natural function and expression of femininity, even for money, in which the female is viewed as being in control of her life and sexuality, all examples of female public disclosure of her body is viewed as natural and as if she is in control.

Both these visions of the modern female are incorrect and have led to devastating results for American girls and women alike.

Ayn Rand hated Libertarianism.

On the News tonight I see protestors of Obama's 'New Socialism' calling themselves 'Tea Baggers.'

This is such a blatant misuse of this country's own heritage as to be more than laughable.

Nonetheless, what is so funny is that I see gaggles and gaggles of libertarian protestors holding up actual portraits of Ayn Rand, as well as signs that read 'Atlas is Shrugging' and so forth. When, Ayn Rand herself, completely denounced the libertarian party, mind you, not certain libertarians, but the ENTIRE existence of the Libertarian party.
