Not much to see here. I found this article was a fascinating insight into her character and philosophy: http://www.michaelprescott.net/hickman.htm The article details her fascination and admiration for a particularly vile and notorious serial killer.
I disagree. Her writing style seemed to appeal to a lot of people even before she wrote about her crazy ideas.
I hate Ayn Rand because her ideology is unrealistic and dangerous. It leads many to the delusion that moochers are the poor and the communist, while leaving them blind to the moochers in capitalism (like Enron, or everyone who ever dealt with Mortgage Backed Securities).
