- I have been officially permitted by the SPIRIT OF RAND to wish all
- serious philosophers a Happy New Year. Be sure to drink only an objectively
- proper amount, commit only an objective amount of foolish behavior in front of
- people you must face tomorrow, and make only objective promises about your
- reformed character in the new year. Think sober thoughts. Of course,
- subjectivists can never be certain that the new year will really arrive. "It's
- unnerved me dreadfully," says Barbara Stanwyck." On the other hand, only
- Objectivists recognize their right to be happy in the new year.

- YAHOO!
