You realize it is a work of fiction don't you?

its easy to start a cult in america, any demagogue can do it, look at
limpballs and beck. america has a lot of people will malformed brains,
lacking the gray matter necessary in the part of the brain that can
understand complex situations. so they flock to cranks, hoping for
some direction in life.

might be environmental, or genes, its hard to say. but its been quite
well reported what rand was. its just to complex for you to
understand.


snicker, i have always felt this was the case:
A new study shows liberals have more gray matter in a part of the
brain related to understanding complexity, while the conservative
brain is bigger in the section linked to fear:How Your Brain May Be
Different Than a Conservative's

* *All of it personal insults. What you do not do, is debate the
content, nor the ideas.

position of substance, or you're not willing to engage one for fear
of defeat in the arena of ideas.


In the case of Rand one has to debate philosophy becuase there
is no substance. Rand was a child of a bourgeois family when,
during the revolution her father's business was taken by government.
This heavily influenced her opinions about socialism. It's amazing
how
the priviledged decry their losses but think nothing of those they
stepped
on to maintain their position of power. Rand wrote "The Virtues of
Selfishness"
but sees no virtue in collective selfishness when facing powerful
people.
I am always reminded of a claim I heard from a bully, "I could take
all of
you one at a time in a fair fight, you had to gang up on me to win."
as if
the fight was fair when to his advantage.

Rand's idealization of her early life lead her to justify the roll of
the oppressor
as if a natural state of affairs based upon the will of the least
moral is in any
way the best.
