One question about Ayn Rand:
Where are the children?

I was wondering who serves as the garbage men and sewer workers in Galt's Gulch? Even free, technologically gifted supermen produce human waste.

I was wondering who serves as the garbage men and sewer workers in Galt's Gulch? The morons who are currently "serving the public" as Deputy Assistant Undersecretaries in the Department of Redundancy Department.
And they're getting gigantic pay cut.

It isn't exactly free space, though. Someone has to pay for the infrastructure, the routers, the pipes, the servers, the service providers. Someone had to create the thing. In this sense an objectivist who depends on it "just being there" is in the same position as any of the moochers in
Atlas Shrugged.
That is not to say that the Internet isn't a commodity that, like any other commodity, cannot be paid for by the user. But it often is not. Take, for example, the fellow who programmed and maintains this particular FR web "space." Who pays him? Well, the users do. Some of us, anyway. And are we paying him an amount commensurate with what we receive? And if not, are those of us who do not also in the position of the moochers?

Pets and kids there just so altruistic.
To: since1868
Pets and kids just take and take.
Looters! Moochers to the core!
That's why there are none in Ayn Rand's worlds (either her novelistic ones or her real life: she died childless).

"Who is John Galt, Anyway?" ..the antithesis to Shrillary, sKerry and their Ilk....all looters.
