With that obvious fact out of the way….I read the fountainhead in 7th grade, Atlas shrugged in high school, and I have her testimony before the committee on anti American activity and her New Yorker interview on objective ethics almost committed to memory

Apparently you are one of the simpletons who were conned by her quasi intellect and faux analysis.
Good thing you were not in Berlin CIRCA 1939, you would have been in a brown shirt no doubt

Try harder and do better

Rand has few followers, however her impact has been great. In many surveys people have rated "Atlas Shrugged" as the second most influential work in their lives behind the bible.

I am by no means an objectivist, and I find Rand to be an extremely flawed individual. However, to deny the impact she has had intellectually in the US in the 20th century is ignorant, and as such she needs to be studied like Marx should be studied.

Rand was a con artist who had a message that made the week minded feel smart, and the wek of heart feel stong. Hers was a pat on the shoulder to the frustrated bitter clinicly depressed of the world saying, "shhhhhhhh...only WE know the truth of hos things should be...wink" As if to tell them that their "gratification of self" was all they needed.
A great collection of faux intellect..little more

I only brought up Islam because I found your original post stupid. Truth is truth regardless of the number of people who don't believe it. Pointing to numbers as proof of anything intellectually is an invalid argument.
