(That might be another reason for the libertarian personality cult around her doormat of a husband, now that you mention that. )

why you reading that crap?

she is a nit wit.



Well so are you.

Elaborate, please.

Reading Rand and putting it all together it is possible to come to the conclusion that in her ideal world, there are no truths...not discovered in an exchange of wealth in the pursuit of a profit.

Maybe you should try again once you've got a clue what he's talking about, rather than passing on hearsay?
Anyway, I thought you didn't do fiction?

Do you have anything to contribute to this conversation?

Tragedy and hope,  the 4th turning are both far better books to examine.

If you want to discuss how godawful Ayn Rand's writing is, fuck off and read some of it first.

Status: offline 		So why do you feel that you're entitled to talk about an author whose work you haven't read, based on something somebody who probably reads fuck all besides Alex has told you?
Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I've always felt that a literary discussion obliges you to have read the literature under discussion. You haven't and all youy have to say is "somebody told me I shouldn't read Ayn Rand". What the fuck is that bringing to the party?

Still, at least you've excused me* having to read the next load of paranoid bullshit you post a link to before dismissing it as drivel, I suppose.

*(and everybody else on the forum, come to that)
