I'm laughing at you not affraid of you, but in reality, little boys
are fucked in church by people whose reality is mind made, 3000
victims 9/11 were the result of a mind made reality, zillions of

Rand clearly identified the ENEMY of mankind was nothing more simple

There is NOTHING more irrational than claiming reality is totally
dependent upon man's mind.
