Ayn Rand: We should all act with our own interests as the ultimate goal of our actions.
We have free will.
Moral standards are objective, and can be known rationally

Not sure if that is actually really representative of me - I can only agree with about 1.5 of the points there (can you guess which ones kids?)

My guess...

The knowable objective moral standards is the 1.
Free will is the 1/2.

Hmmm. When I first wrote that posts it was the free will, 1 and all act in our own interests 1/2. Unfortunatly now I've had time to think about them a bit more and have come to the inevitable philosophers conclusion - i.e. they are all too short and pithy to agree with any of them entirely although all 3 have aspects I can support so I guess I'm now spreading my 1.5 evenly across all 3 :)
