Not a health-related post, but I wanted to say that, along with some Objectivist friends of mine, I attended the NYC Tea Party last night. It was great to see that, even in this liberal-packed city, there were at least a few thousand people turned out to protest the government's outrageous spending spree.
Plus, our "Ayn Rand was right -- read Atlas Shrugged" signs meant that we met another NYC Objectivist! A few of us have carefully built a circle of rational friends in the city over the course of several years, and it's always nice to find more to add to our little "collective." I was especially gratified to see that he had a copy of the current issue of The Objective Standard with him -- and said that yes, I was that Stella Daily. :)
Long live Lady Liberty!

As Ayn Rand noted in her introduction to Leonard Peikoff's book, Ominous Parallels, ideas do cause history. As her novels and indeed the actions of her own life show, ideas pass through social connections directly and indirectly.
Building a network of like-minded people is itself a step toward changing one's world someday. It is a step which can, sometimes, result in immediate pleasures from new friendships. Those two potential benefits are an incentive for networking and organizing.
