    Ayn Rand was corroding society’s framework around the middle of the 20th century, her contributions were destructive, she was one of the intellectual terrorists of our time, her thoughts and opinions of our responsibilities with our environment, our fellow people’s health or well being are the basis of today’s line of thought, reinforced by greed.
    Money matters more than our future.
    One may analyze what the politicians say vrs. what they do. One wonders.
    Are we going to learn from this?
    Another swing in our history.
    Are we going to be able to teach our children what is nessesary in school?
    Civilized? or are we De-civilazing?
