The ARI Strikes Out Again
Last Friday I made a final check of my personal email before I left for the day and found this one from the Ayn Rand Institute. It reads in part:
“Jeff Britting, archivist at the Ayn Rand Institute and producer of the Academy Award-nominated documentary 'Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life,' will participate in a panel discussion on Hollywood's blacklist sponsored by the Liberty Film Festival titled: ‘Was Communism a Threat to Hollywood?’ “
Now I have thought for sometime the folks at the ARI are misanthropic and xenophobic nuts who got lost in the mindset of the Cold War years. Nevertheless I thought I’d tune in to the panel discussion on C-Span 2 and give a view and see how the ARI’s views went over. What a disappointment Mr. Britting was at expressing Rand’s views or his own. He was the least articulate and coherent of the seven member panel who ranged in views from Libertarian to Marxist.
Maybe the brain drain at the ARI has gotten so bad that this guy is the best they could come up with, or perhaps it is seriously loosing vitality with Dr. P at the helm so long?
