Are you guys totally NUTS? - what is this thing the right have for Ayn
Rand - she wrote simplistic, badly written fantasy novels. To claim
they were any more than that is an insult to the whole English
language. A Russian emigre, Hollywood scriptwriter - what better to
follow than a "book" (hopefully, a few books) to con the gullible
simpletons.

I tried to read it, was so badly crafted I threw it across the room in
disgust. In recent years, the only other books to suffer the same fate
were The DaVinci Code and a biography of Billy Connolly by his
missus.. Dont you guys ever read anything except poorly crafted
bull****?

Is Ayn Rand the best the right can come up with as an intellectual, a
theorist, a great mind showing the way ahead. Surely, in 2,000 years
of Capitalism the Right could find SOMEONE who sounded plausible.
Seems not. Sigh....
