Ayn Rand (111,000 results) versus Immanuel Kant (106,000 results).
UPDATE 10/07/02: Thanks to Christian Beenfeldt for the correction. I mis-spelled Kant's first name. It should be Immanuel, not "Emmanuel."

CENSORSHIP IN CANADA
Betsy Speicher's CyberNet (10/03/02) had the following breaking news from Ray Girn, President, University of Toronto Objectivist Club:
"Yesterday morning, I received a Notice of Detention from the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency regarding the pamphlet delivery. The letter stated that "The following goods [the pamphlets] have been detained for a determination of tariff classification as they may constitute obscenity or hate propaganda. You will be notified in writing of the decision.""
After a three-day detention, the Canadian Customs released the pamphlets, according to this press release from the Ayn Rand Institute. The Canadian Customs' act of censorship made headlines around the world:
� MetaFilter. [Via Fredrik Norman.]
� Canadian newspaper, National Post. Right now, number 22 on DayPop's Top 40 list.
� Glenn Reynolds a.k.a. InstaPundit.
� Initium - The Daily Journal of Capitalism.

PROJECT ATHENE
I have added Project Athene to the Objectivism category. Here is a paragraph from their Mission Statement:
"The key to revealing the truths contained in the science of neuropsychology lies in the integration of modern neurophysiology with the Objectivist metaphysics and epistemology. This integration is the forum's guiding principle -- and the achievement the forum is created to facilitate."

LA DOLCE VITA
It's time to drink some German beer, it is time for Oktoberfest!
I have bought a box of S.T. Dupont cigarillos at Brobergs Tobakshandel. The latest issue of European Cigar Cult Journal includes a long list of different cigarillos. I bought a small book on cigars at the local bookstore.
I have purchased a moka coffee maker, an aerolatte milk frother, and a book on espresso. Time for a cup of cappuccino!
I will test a high quality tea, Assam Mokalbari, in the near future. I will be back with a review.
