... shortly before I read "The Virtue of Selfishness" ( my bosses were "objectivists," so I HAD to read all her shit!) I heard her speak in '68, I think it was, and even met her very briefly. Watching her demean and humiliate her entourage, and the people that hosted the event, sealed her fate as far as I was concerned. She was repulsive. Even Russ and Bob were a bit put off by her, and they were worshippers!

Her insidious influence has poisoned political and social discourse for long enough. Rand, her "philosophy," and her fawning acolytes, should be tossed back in the cesspool that spawned them, and the nation should take a long, hot shower to scrub any trace of her away forever.
