• • Behind the Lines: Looters and moochers 
Val Lambson, Salt Lake Tribune Atheism  |Capitalism  | I am not a Randian Objectivist — for example, I am pro-God and anti-adultery — but Ayn Rand was correct in pointing out that there are only three ways we can see to our material needs: We can be traders, looters or moochers.
