Anyone who bleats out an angry screed as above clearly has no concept of what Rand was talking about. She saw the evil in collectivist thought back in the 20's and 30's. The Fountain Head was her first attempt at her "anthem"....she perfected it with ATLAS SHRUGGED. If you haven't read either, get on it: NOW!!!
Where is John Galt? Funny how true this cautionary tale is...... libs just do not understand talent, aptitude, initiative and intelligence as being valuable to a strong society. The Milton Friedman Free to Choose series was along the same lines when he discusses talent and value. It is hard to capture Ayn Rands philosophy in a movie but has anyone seen the movie??
