Reminds me of something I read recently in a spiritual context about being warm and kind to everyone you meet as you never know who they really are. I had never heard of Ayn Rand until I saw this quote in someone's signature. I liked it sufficiently to look her up and was surprised to discover that she had written some fascinating stuff many years ago that I somehow missed during my youth. I have now ordered her novel "Atlas Shrugged", which according to some poll or other has reputedly influenced more Americans than any other book ever published, except for the Bible! As one who very rarely reads novels these days, I am looking forward to this one. Nice one, Bobbie.

Typical American GI Joe movie, but at least somebody over there 'gets it'.
