Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed. Archive for November, 2008. Geumgangsan is officially closed…but should we have been rewarding North Korea with tourism to begin with? November 29, 2008 at 11:41 pm · Filed under Uncategorized. Until ten years ago, this site, like the rest of the ‘hermit kingdom,’ was closed to the outside world. You can no longer visit Geumgang-san – as of November 29th, it is closed again. My own trip came before all of this, at the tail end of ten relatively stable years for th...

North Korea Ejects South Korean Companies | Objectivism Korea

https://rokobjectivism.wordpress.com/2008/12/02/north-korea-ejects-south-korean-companies

Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed. North Korea Ejects South Korean Companies. December 2, 2008 at 12:11 pm · Filed under Uncategorized. Why are South Korean companies quietly abandoning their hotels and factories at the ‘request’ of the North Korean government? Other contemporary examples, such as Venezuela’s nationalization of its oil industry, suggest the same consequences of an economic ideal, capitalism, outpacing its political precondition, a guarantee of individual freedoms. 3 Comments ».

The American Individualist: Is 'Johnny U' for You?

http://theamericanindividualist.blogspot.com/2012/03/is-johnny-u-for-you.html

Rational Commentary and Articles on American Culture-Politics. Saturday, March 3, 2012. Is 'Johnny U' for You? Tom Callahan's biography on a legendary quarterback offers inspiration even for the non-sports fan. On Super Bowl Sunday, Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts will once again don the same white helmet with blue horseshoes that another star quarterback wore in a championship game nearly 50 years ago. I draw this timely parallel simply to recommend a biography that matches its hype. In 1958, U...

The American Individualist: June 2011

http://theamericanindividualist.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Rational Commentary and Articles on American Culture-Politics. Sunday, June 26, 2011. Book Review: Gulag by Anne Applebaum. When published in 2003, Anne Applebaum’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Gulag: A History. Was touted as the most authoritative, comprehensive book on the Soviet labor camps.

Ayn Rand Tea Party. Sunday, May 3, 2009. The Joseph Kellard report. The following is my report, printed today in the newspaper I work for here on Long Island (the Long Beach Herald), on a Tax Day Tea Party I attended in Massapequa. Unfortunately, I spotted no signs in the crowd that referred in any way to Ayn Rand or Atlas Shrugged. If I had, this newsworthy occurrence mostly likely would have made my lead paragraph.).
