Ayn Rand

[Brett Knowlton]

I checked out this guy's web site.  There was a review of his book, Marx,
Hayek, and Utopia (or is it Hayek, Marx, and Utopia?) and his response to
various reviewers.  I didn't understand a word of it.

What is the "dialectical method" anyway?  Doug, can you shed light on this?

 Why can't these guys write prose that is easy to understand?  I'm judging
based on a small sample size here, but I feel like someone who's been
excluded from the club when I read this stuff.
