    Changed it when I decided it wasn't that funny...philosophical jokes usually go off with a bang in basketball cites, but i got conservative.:D

    All I can say is, thank God I didn't get Rand...I mean, Ayn Rand!?!?! Aristotle, Bentham, Socrates, Mill, Shoppenhower, Nietzsche, DesCartes...and Ayn freaking Rand!?!? What the jhell does this say about the philosophical vaccum that is the Western world in the 21st century?

    P.S. NOT a shot at those who got Rand...she represents a position which had commonalities with very supportable views...I'm talking about the fact that she is considered the best copntemporary example of those views...
