The online support for Ron Paul is pretty amazing:

It is also very exciting. A lot of people, especially a lot of young people online, really want to see some change.
The main reason I like Ron Paul so much: he’s honest.
(That’s also why it would take a miracle for him to win)

I have been reading Atlas Shrugged for months and I am only on page 810 out of 1084. And I even really like the book - it has had a big impact on my philosophy of life.
I guess I just kind of feel like I get the point already and I’m trying to finish the book just to finish it.
The book isn’t really about the story - it’s more about the ideas within the story. And I don’t think any new ideas will come out in the last 200 pages.
After reading the article about Radical Honesty, I have been noticing that Ayn Rand seems to be a believer in it.
For example, with the relationship between Francisco, Dagny Taggert and John Galt - they all spoke and acted exactly as they felt, regardless of their relationships to each other, etc… “Nobody stays here by faking reality in any manner whatever.”
Also, this quote from Rearden to Dagny reveals Rand’s belief in radical honesty:

“People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I’ve learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one’s reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one’s master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person’s view requires to be faked… The man who lies to the world, is the world’s slave from then on.”

I found this article on Radical Honesty in Esquire to be hilarious. The author interviews Brad Blanton, a psychotherapist who started the movement - which is to tell nothing but the truth all the time. The interview is great because it is totally honest:

“My boss says you sound like a dick,” I say.

“Tell your boss he’s a dick,” he says.

“I’m glad you picked your nose just now,” I say. “Because it was funny and disgusting, and it’ll make a good detail for the article.”

This Blanton sounds like quite an interesting guy.
Also the idea is interesting. Blanton thinks of honesty as a crude compassion. But the author talks about how most of us are dishonest because we think it is cruel to be honest.
Honesty is also just really funny, for some reason. For people to just say what is on their minds makes me laugh. Like when the author tells his conversing barber “You know, I’m tired. I have a cold. I don’t want to talk anymore. I want to read.” And the barber says “fine - go ahead and read.”
But the author’s experiment with radical honesty leads to some insights:

That’s one thing I’ve noticed: When I am radically honest, people become radically honest themselves.

I’m all for Radical Honesty in everyday life - but I think it would be very difficult and take a lot of courage. I try to be honest, and maybe I’ll try to be a little more radically honest in my day to day life. But on a blog, it shouldn’t be that difficult, right? That’s the appeal of a blog, isn’t it? A radically honest look into someone’s life? Actually it seems to me that the more radically honest the blog, the more interesting I find it.
So if I believe this, I should make this blog as radically honest as I can. Okay, I may give this a try but I need a couple of weeks to think it over.
