Samael, please explain how you can, in good faith, follow a philosophy
which can be construed to justify anything. Your subjectivist
philosophy implies that it may, under certain circumstances, be
morally okey dokey to nuke a newborn in a microwave. Hey, there's no
wrong or right! We can do anything!

I'm not a philosopher and I have no grand justification of objectivism
other than the fact that your subjectivism can justify all of what
most of us consider evil in the world - genocide, murder, rape, child
abuse, etc etc.
