What's a hole doing in my TARDIS?

Ulysses

i always get stuck reading about the dozens of references contained in each sentence

:(

A Jewish man wanders around Dublin, killing time and distracting himself from the fact that his wife is having sex with her concert promoter that day. Along the way, he runs into Stephen Dedalus who is really a young James Joyce. Each chapter resembles an incident in "The Odyssey".

E: Proteus and The Wandering Rocks are only tangentially related to the voyages of Odysseus proper, but you get the idea.

Would you kindly read this?

I am here to ask you a question:

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

No, says the man in Washington; it belongs to the poor.

No, says the man in the Vatican; it belongs to God.

No, says the man in Moscow; it belongs to everyone.

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different.

I chose the impossible.

I chose... Rapture.

A city where the artist would not fear the censor.

Where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality.

Where the great would not be constrained by the small.

And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.

The irony is, of course: that Rand spent the last 8 years of her life taking social security benefits despite having an estate valued at $500,000 which is over $1,000,000 by today's standards.

Parasitic greed indeed.

Ayn Rand thought that smoking represented mankind harnessing the power of fire, and that not smoking was immoral. She got lung cancer because she smoked three packs of cigarettes a day.

Unless you're a woman I don't think you're qualified to contradict her.
That's the feminist perspective anyway.

Just think, if only Ayn's mother hadn't given away her toy chicken all those years ago, she might have grown up to be a nicer person.

Didn't that Ayn Rand kickstarter fail horribly and they went off on a rant about how people are loving idiots or whatever when the free market actually spoke and told them they weren't interested?
