A tiny, weeny WTF_Nature wank...
I was unsure whether to post this here or iwank, but I posted twice, once to LOL and once to say, "Dude, you're being really annoying", so I figure it might go better here. Right.

WTF_Nature is a super fun community on LJ devoted to the crazy shit nature comes up with. Freak storms. Animals we didn't know existed. Animals that do exist but mutate. If it's in nature, and it makes you go "WTF", it's in the comm.

Yesterday, writerspleasure decided to post about a species of goby in South African waters that has turned on its natural predator, the jellyfish, and made those squishy suckers into their dinner. A really interesting subject, full of fascinating ramifications for the local ecosystem in that area. For some reason, he brought in an Ayn Rand reference.

[info]markslj is tired of this political bullshit.

Wank is soon in the waters once the first blood is shed.

[info]pazi_ashfeather makes a comment on writerspleasure's behaviour.

Thing degenerate and get mighty personal after that, all while the both of them argue about Ayn Rand. I don't know why, but people arguing about Ayn Rand always makes me laugh.

So anyway, one minute you think it's over, but those crazy kids start up the argument again in another thread. Are the Bearded Gobys Libertarians or Bolsheviks? A question for the ages!

Ahhh... Ayn Rand. *chuckle* Tiny, to be sure, but like the Bearded Goby, kind of cute as well.

I know all of ONE PERSON who didn't turn wankerlicious after reading Rand as a teenager. ONE. Out of A LOT OF THEM. D:

I was going to read "Atlas Shrugged", so I can actually have an informed opinion on it, but now I'm afraid of being infected by stupid.

I read The Fountainhead when I was a junior or a senior in high school and my little mind was blown by it. I babbled excitedly about it to my AP Language teacher, who kind of looked at me alarmed and told me something along the lines of "Well, er, that's great that you like it, but please don't lose your soul, okay?"

Well, I'd like to think I found it again after that remark, but I'm notorious for dropping things everywhere and not even noticing they're gone, so I probably lost my soul again and just haven't figured it out yet.

I read it as a teen, and thought she had a point at first, but then I realized the entirety of her narrative was

10 Erect straw man
20 Knock down straw man
30 GOTO 10

and then somehow there was still 90% of the book left.
