What's The Deal With Ayn Rand?

[GregoryJoseph]

Maybe I'll try Fountainhead.

I'll never even attempt "Atlas" again.

I feel that if you just blindly follow what she says she wouldn't like you much.

the only reason for having that book is for sitting in a Starbucks and trying to pick up psuedo-intellectual chicks!

I read all of Atlas Shrugged - pompous, simplistic, annoying political rants told by two-dimensional characters, strung together and trying to pass as a novel.

Wow. i really agree with that sentiment.

Is "weird" code for "better?" Nowadays the entire episode would basically just be the creator's ranting about Ayn Rand through the cartoon and nothing else.

I love the new South Parks. I just used weird to describe the animation and voices. I forgot what Cartmen used to sound like.

I went to a block garage sale today that my friends were participating in.

I sold a bunch of stuff myself.

I had to laugh when I saw a copy of "The Fountainhead" for sale there.

I almost picked it up.

But your dainty, wimpy T-Rex arms kept you from doing so?

I made over a hundred bucks and didn't want to part with a single dollar of it.

Well, that's a lie.

I picked up a brand new, never opened, still in the box XM Inno2 for $25.

I was wondering who the guy with the "Wolf shirts- 5 for $20" sign was.

That's a lie that eats up 25% of your truth.

I'll never trust you one fourth of the time ever again.

I wasn't a big fan of Atlas Shrugged, it had it's parts that I enjoyed but overall I thought it was not great writing.

I've never read Fountainhead but I have heard many good things about it, I may have to give it a try one of these days.

I still want to know though..Who the FUCK is John Galt??

despite anything she has said to denounce them, i think the little bit of rand i've read sounds just like the few libertarians i've known.
