But Rand is to be criticized for her doctor-prescribed diet pills. Okey Dokey. Gotcha...
And? That could describe a large swath of fashionable Europe.:cheeky:

If only you had actually READ Rand, Comrade, instead of repeating Overlord takes. If you actually had read any Rand you'd find that she was an Objectivist and had a poor opinion of libertarians. So you actually have something in common with Ayn Rand.
Born in Russia to Jews, her family having their property confiscated by the Bolsheviks, educated in Communist state university, emigrating to America where through hard work, intelligence and various forms of guile made a major impact on the lives of many millions.
Was she flawed? Sure. So are you. So am I. So what? All humans are.
Comrade, your obsession is quite impressive. Do they sell these at the Peoples Cooperative?
cobraboy, you forget to mention that after spending most of her adult life pontificating against government help for the needy, Ayn Rand had no problem in applying for Social Security and Medicare when SHE need them.
