"For instance, TH readers applaud Warren's stance against farm subsidies..." SOME Town Hall readers. Certainly not this one! Farm subsidies should be INCREASED, if we want to go on eating.

Oh yes. Slash farm subsidies. Force farmers right out of business! Where do you think your food comes from? Oh, of course! It comes from Safeway. No problem!

I meant, "The cycle of global warming and cooling has been going on for many CENTURIES".

Here are the facts as I see them: 1. Global warming is occuring. The cycle of global warming and cooling has been going on for many decades. 2. Global warming causes climate changes and may cause storms such as Sandy. 3. Man cannot stop global warming. While slowing the emission of green house gases may have some miniscule effect, the main cause of global warming is solar activity and nothing man can do will affect that. 4. Electing Obama will do nothing to slow global warming — unless he is God!

Ayn Rand's moral philosophy appears in university philosophy texts. Her moral philosophy is that any person X is acting morally if his action promotes his self-interest. This concept of morally right actions is the antithesis of what Jesus taught. Thus Christianity is IN-compatible with Ayn Rand.
