Well, I think I answered that in reply to your other mail. You cannot
take one point in her philosophy and say that it reflects her entire
idology. Yes, personal freedom is great, and whatever comes out of that
is to be respected. But you are forgetting that her macro-economic
policies are strictly pro-capitalist, largely conservative, and what
people would consider "right" leaning politically. I cannot imagine
Debian's philosophy being anywhere near hers.
I have a doubt - did you read her "Atlas Shrugged" ? Sigh - I have to
mark it OT now :)
