i have a brilliant musician friend (jazz guitar) who is a diehard
objectivist (as in ayn rand). he considers himself a libertarian but his
politics are pretty republican... we have some great debates, especially
concerning the purpose of art and artists. it's important to suround
oneself with people of varying political ideologies, i think, provided
they are intelligent, thoughtful, reasonable and like a good debate.
