Here is your ring-side seat for the championship bout of reason and rhetoric.

The opponents: from Academia and New York, the champion, Dr. Chris Matthew Sciabarra; and from New Hampshire, the "Live Free or Die State," the challenger, Reginald Firehammer.

Round one: Dr. Sciabarra leads with a series of devastating blows, five articles on Homosexuality, Objectivism, and the "shameful treatment of homosexuals by those who call themselves Objectivists."

Round two: Reginald Firehammer counters with the publication of The Hijacking of a Philosophy, Homosexuals vs. Ayn Rand's Objectivism claiming Objectivism is being hijacked to normalize and promote homosexuality, which is neither normal or moral and inimical to Objecivist principles.

Round three: Lindsay Perigo jumps into the fray by publishing the monograph Ayn Rand, Homosexuality, and Human Liberation an updated and expanded version of Dr. Sciabarra's original five Articles.

Round four: Dr. Sciabarra again takes the advantage by publishing in The Free Radical, the article "In Praise of Hijacking", a scathing denunciation of Mr. Firehammer's book, picking it apart, piece by piece, and argument by argument.

Round five: Lindsay Perigo rings the bell to start this round, now in progress and the most interesting so far, by publishing Dr. Sciabarra's article, "In Praise of Hijacking," on the SOLO forum, where the battle is currently being waged by Dr. Sciabarra and his fans against the greatly outnumbered Mr. Firehammer and his supporters.

Rounds six and seven: You'll have to wait for the next issue of The Free Radical for the final two scheduled rounds, in which Mr. Firehammer responds to Dr. Sciabarra's critical article, and Dr. Sciabarra makes his final valiant attack.

But don't wait to see how the battle is going. Take your ring-side seat now at the SOLO Forum for the The Great Debate.
