Eight million children in the developing world die every year from

Does anyone in their right mind spew rhetoric with nothing to back it
up? Why don't you enlighten us and point out exactly where you find
substantiation for what you've claimed to be "the Ayn Rand view"?

Or would you like to just admit you're talking out your ass?

The "Ayn Rand view" would be to realize that the conditions of these
so-called "developing nations" don't exist in a vacuum. What ideology
does the leadership and population embrace? Why do they continue to
procreate living in poverty conditions?

If the US spent every dime of its GNP on Africa do you think it would
solve their problems?
