Radicals for Happiness
is a blog that I have set up with the express intention of sharing bits of joy among rational egoists. The site is not explicitly Objectivist - rather than arguing for Objectivist philosophy, it takes that philosophy for granted, and shares things like books, writers, artists, music and web resources that Objectivists and like-minded people will hopefully find of value. If you have any suggestions or would like to make any contributions, please let me know.

Here are the last 5 daily installments:

BBC Radio 4 "In Our Time" with Melvyn Bragg
William-Adolphe Bouguereau
My Soul is a Pack of Coyotes
Hate Can be a Very Exciting Emotion
Barbara Stanwyck 1907-1990 the "Ball of Fire"

Really well done, Ted. I've book-marked it.

There is an old saying that if a million monkeys typed on a million keyboards for a million years, eventually all the works of Shakespeare would be produced. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.

And.... Ted is changing that!

No, Ted, I was the one monkeying around with that quote. The serious message is that your web-site is of real value and a thing of joy.
