The Rational Egoist

Welcome to my blog. My name is Steve Giardina. I consider myself to be a student of the philosophy of Objectivism, and these are my many thoughts. Feel free to leave comments, as well as your opinions.

"In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours." Ayn Rand

Railroad Monopolies [Posts] — Steve Giardina @ 7:37 pm

President Bush has set a plan in motion to “reform” Amtrak.

WASHINGTON - A new Bush administration proposal for Amtrak’s future could end the government-subsidized railroad’s monopoly on intercity passenger rail travel, a congressional supporter says.

This is not enough Mr. Bush. You need to completely eliminate all government intervention into the economy. However, this is no easy task, and not something that can be done overnight. Continue to reduce the role of government in the private lives of American citizens, and the business pursuits they choose to engage in, but do not rest until the government has been completely removed from the economy.
