Cowardice In Action

One of the things we should have learned through direct experience in the Twentieth Century is that cowardice isn't an option.  We're in a fight for our lives and WE ARE LOSING.  One of the cowards (or collaborators) is Harry Binswanger.  Binswanger showed us the value of a "piled higher and deeper" degree, which is none at all.  If the false prophet Mohammad were to appear in the United States today and behave as depicted in the Islamic records he'd either be locked in padded room and given a lifetime supply of happy pills, locked in a maximum security prison, or given the needle.  (Except in the state of Utah where he'd be taken out and shot.)  I understand that because we perceive the universe as individuals that disagreements can exist.  But there's no excuse for cowardice when one's faced with actual evil.  Evil must be confronted and destroyed or else it'll overtake us.  Ayn Rand herself would have been ejected from the HBL.
