Ayn apparently hated kids. Just read the hobo Jeff Allen's account about the ugly, mean 8-year-old girl who got braces under the health care plan at the 20th Century Motor Company.
Scott was very kind in his response to an obviously supremely uninformed SupernautG. What is so disappointing (though we are used to it) is just how poorly the American population actually understands what a free market is all about. Here we have an individual who, while looking at a perfect example of the free market in action, completely misses the fact and bemoans that this is NOT a free market result. Makes one sad.
@SupernautG No irony at all. Rand advocated that one should support the things one valued. Ask The Ayn Rand Institute or The Atlas Society, two of the many Rand-related organizations and projects supported by donations.
@SupernautG You are a perfect example of every attack ever made on her: knee-jerk reactions based in ignorance of what she actually believed. It's time for us to all first seek to understand instead of lashing out to stroke our egos.
@SupernautG You just made an ad hominem logical fallacy by calling her "crazy" with "demented ramblings." Fallacies are irrational and don't address the question at hand. You have deal only with the use of facts and logic. You may be well versed, but you obviously don't understand a thing about what you read or you wouldn't be using mud-slinging and irrationality.
@billysunerson Rand, is like those women that write love letters to seriel killers and murderers in prison. She had wet dreams in her diaries for a rapist-murdering-dismembering sociopath and used that sociopathy as her example of an ideal human male - she even wrote in a rape scene her hero carried out in her fiction book. Those were verifiable examples of her kookiness and not ad hominem attacks.
@SupernautG Do you enjoy being as ignorant as possible and then shooting off your mouth? Do you actually care about what is true or do you just believe everything you hear? Don't answer that, I'm not in any doubt.
Clueless!

Ironic, a documentary on Ayn Rand made via donations rather than the free market! LOL!

@SupernautG
it's not ironic. Check your premises and you might learn to avoid flagrant syllogisms.
