      Dear Uncle Gus, Given that you're already well learned in Objectivism, do you find value in debates between Objectivists and leftists such as the recent one from the WNYC First Principles series involving Harry Binswanger? Thanks, kelleyn

      Dear Uncle Gus, What's your opinion of Wikileaks and its publication of classified government documents? Maybe I'm being sloppy, but isn't it ironic that Uncle Sam is getting a taste of going through the nudie scanner/public molestation? ~ Sloppy Joe.

      Recently, a friend of mine from Barcelona was telling me that the government in that region of spain is banning bull fighting because the majority of Catalonians believe it is inhumane. What should be the proper role of government in this? (US dogfights)

      When you discovered Ayn Rand and started talking about her philosophy, did people labeled you as an "idealist"? It's happening to me. I feel like that's their "subtle" way of telling me that the world is crap and I better get used to it . Josef

      You mentioned starting "Good Calories, Bad Calories" and commented about the early sections on govt. sponsored research. If you've finished the book, has it changed the way you think about diet etc. too? If so, in what way?

      Ask anything? Hmmmm. How about this question: if you saw twelve stale fried pies on sale for $1 - would you buy them?

      Very funny. I know who you are...

      Definitely yes, if you held a pot-luck dinner and I needed to bring something along!

      How is life in Boston? What has been the best and worst of it?

      asked by DianaHsieh

      It's going okay, thank you! Now that I think about it, it's been two months short of a year since I joined my wife up here.

      The worst, hands down, is the cost of living. The best is the fact that the town is so compact that I can walk almost anywhere I want.
