Destroying all the planet, from the grave.
All three Harridans - Isobel Paterson, Rose Wilder Lane and Ayn Rand - died years ago .
But they are still uniquely honored by the mostly male (and male chauvinistic) libertarians of the world as "The Founding Mothers" of Libertarianism.
Yes - there are no Founding Fathers of this uniquely male-centric theology of greed and self-centredness.
The Mother of All Mothers for libertarians was a Canadian - Isobel Paterson.
Who could imagine that such as self-absorbed, self-centred bunch of perpetual teenage boys as the libertarians could have been birthed by women and Canadians, rather than by some hard-bitten Texan macho types .

Instead Manhattan Natural radiated hope to a world tired, huddled and wretched. On its 75th, let's remind terrorist Ramzi Yousef about a Manhattan project that saved far more lives than the A-Bomb ever killed.
