Digital Cams, Hillary Clinton, amd Ayn Rand

I got a new toy today--a digital camera. I've been having a ball with it all day long. I've made some seventy pictures, although I've deleted most of them, I'm going to take some serious photos this weekend and sprnkle them throughout several web page projects I have on the burner. All of this reminds me that I still have an undeveloped roll of film in my camera. I'm going to have to use up the rest of it, and have them developed. I'm still going to keep using my old camera mostly. As nice as this digital camersa is, I bought it just for interne use with few bells and whistles. I'm still having a blast with it, though.

I'm enjoying it so, I just wrote a review for it on Amazon.com, even though i'm a bit ticked at them. They refused my review of Hillary Clinton's Living History , saying that it didn't dwell on the subject matter and seemed like a personal attack on Mrs. Clinton. Poppycock. It was a autobiography (well, a heavily ghost written one) and any coments on it would be highly personal about the author. It reminded me of the paper I wrote on Ayn Rand's The Virtue of Selfishness in an ethics class in college. The professor was a huge fan of objectivism. I was aware of this. She took my paper as a personal insult. Truth is, she didn't much like Christians. I got an "A" in that class regardless, so I suppose it doesn't realy matter. The proessor also spread the word among her students when i wass running for the Student Senate much later, so I guess she was a forgiving soul.

Maybe she realized what a budding libertarian I was becoming, even back then.
