<p>More or less...</p>
<p>I know you too well. :p</p>
<p>By the way, kiddo, I thought you would be seventeen by now?</p>
<p>Nahhh, not till June ;) And who are you calling Kiddo?? hehe</p>
<p>Oh, right. Me. :(</p>
<p>Rand was an ardent Libertarian. Her political views are what motivated Nozick to write his cricitism, given that he too was Libertarian and wanted to separate himself from the gamine.</p>
<p>Yup. You're the baby. :)</p>
<p>Actually, Ayn Rand despised the label Libertarian and tried to distance herself as much as possible from the movement. But that's a matter of label and not philosophy so, whatever ;)</p>
<p>Corranged--Oh.</p>
<p>Corranged, are we both criticizing Rand in the UChicago blog?</p>
<p>Haha. Are you Neil?</p>
<p>Being a classic Chicago applicant, I posted the exact same answer when the topic arose. I mean, really now, was I going to write something different? I was kind of wondering whether anybody would notice, though. :p</p>

</p>
<p>Yes. Hahahaha.</p>
<p>...That's a little creepy. Small world, isn't it? </p>
<p>I love it. :D</p>
<p>So are you an applicant? Your location says Georgetown and all. I'm mighty confused.</p>
<p>Coranged: </p>
<p>Could you please give me the link for this quote. I would appreciate it. Thanks</p>
<p>"Ayn Rand at a Q&A in November, 1971:
Quote:
[Homosexuality] involves psychological flaws, corruptions, errors, or unfortunate premises, but there is a psychological immorality at the root of homosexuality. Therefore I regard it as immoral. [...] Morally it is immoral, and more than that, if you want my really sincere opinion, it is disgusting. "</p>
<p>This is not a right thing as all people have a right to choose and who we are to question others personal life. BUt I would like a link for it. Thanks.</p>
<p>Yes. I should have included a link. Here are several sites that have the quote:</p>

<p>Yes! Though do not tell anyone... it is a secret.</p>
<p>Counter quote: "Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." -Pat Robertson</p>
<p>-Not a direct chain of thought, but it was on the Women in Science at Harvard-Radcliffe website and I thought it was funny.</p>
<p>So, ummm anyway, does all the stuff the OP mentions realy count as hooks in Harvard admissions?</p>
<p>Hooks but NOT auto-admit factors in the slightest.</p>
<p>Haha. OK, Nspeds. It will be just between us two.</p>
