or, just the "common man" fed up with politics as usual?
BOTH parties are getting a little "heat".

I don't consider myself to be an objectivist, but I'm guessing you object to Rand's free market idealogy, and apparently libertarian ideology as well. Care to elaborate, or just carelessly dismiss?
Also, you do realize your overindulgent use of alliteration doesn't make you sound any smarter, right?

Ayn Rand says greed is good. beternU says generosity is good and greed sucks.
Ayn and beternU will never agree on this matter because Ayn is now dead and in hell and beternU is alive and on Earth.
As to alliteration, I just can't help it. Like some people with an ear for music, I have an ear for language. For me to refuse to indulge it would be unnatural and would rob my readers of one of the joyous glories of the English language. I have no intent to sound "smarter," I just want to offer up a little elegant variation to the typically mundane stuff so often served up by boring drudges like you.

"Ayn Rand says greed is good." Absolutely incorrect! That was "Gordon Gecko", a character from the Oliver Stone movie, "Wall Street". Yes you keep us entertained oh great one.

Again, not an objectivist, but a free market conservative.
I'll let the objectivist website speak to selfishness as a virtue:
"Moreover, the character traits of the "selfish" brute are not compatible with any human being's actual, rational interests. Humans live in a social world; in order to maximize the value of their interactions with others, they should cultivate a firm commitment to the virtues of rationality, justice, productiveness, and benevolence. A commitment to these virtues naturally precludes such brutish behavior. "
