Here’s my selected Ayn Rand quotation for this edition:
Get the hell out of my way.
- John Galt
Atlas Shrugged
Welcome to the May 20, 2010 edition of objectivist round up.
Joseph Kellard presents Letter to Dan Marino to be Published in Textbook posted at The American Individualist, saying, “Pearson Education, which I’m told is one of the largest textbook publishers in the United States, bought this letter that I wrote five years ago, “An Open Letter to Dan Marino,” and plans to publish it in an upcoming textbook for high school freshmen. As I understand it, the letter will be included in a chapter with the theme “choices writers make.””
Rachel Miner presents Door Hanger Hide and Seek posted at The Playful Spirit, saying, “Sharing a game I developed by combining hide and seek with reading practice. It provides lots of laughs to share with your kids or a great present for other kids in your life 
”
Edward Cline presents A Brief Aside on Power posted at The Rule of Reason, saying, “It is important to understand the motivation of those responsible for what can only become a catastrophe for this country. It is important for Americans to grasp it, whether they are for or against ObamaCare or any other law this administration in particular authors and imposes on the country. It is crucial that men understand what moves those who advocate the blatantly demonstrable irrational. If more Americans understood it, perhaps the allure of state-managed existence in any realm would diminish and vanish, and its advocates and supporters be exposed for the monsters they are.”
Michael Labeit presents Some Basic Economic Problems of Free Healthcare posted atMichael Labeit at EconomicPolicyJournal.com.
Jeff Montgomery presents The Arizona Litmus Test posted at Fun With Gravity, saying, “In this post I discuss the fact that some conservatives and Tea Party supporters are rallying behind the Arizona immigration law, a position I regard as mistaken.”

Mike Zemack presents Abortion-Only Laissez-Faire? posted at Principled Perspectives, saying, “Rowe v. Wade legalized abortion based upon the privacy argument that the abortion decision is a matter between a patient and her physician. The Left has always supported that precedent, but it should realize that the very same legal logic applies to all of healthcare, leading not to “universal healthcare” but to free market capitalism in medicine.”
Jane Eisenhart presents Jane’s Thousand posted at Hometown Grotesque.
Ari Armstrong presents On Immigration, Too Many Conservatives Oppose Liberty posted at Free Colorado, saying, “The choice is clear. Either you support liberty, free markets, the rights of property and association, and security against government intrusions, or you support restrictive immigration.”

Sandi Trixx presents Greens’ Bogus Claims of Earth Love posted at Sandi Trixx, saying, “The claim of “three years without oil” is bogus.”
Sandi Trixx presents Your Duty to Sacrifice posted at Sandi Trixx, saying, “Being dishonest to save yourself is no sin.”
Diana Hsieh presents Reading Update posted at NoodleFood, saying, “Here’s a survey of what I’ve been reading lately.”
