Ayn Rand
Valrus:
Read David Foster Wallace.
Baggy:
Atlast Shrugged certainly drags on for a long long time. I could easily have been split up into a trilogy of books. I did think it was well written though.
Objectivism sucks, however. It only works in her books where the "evil man of charity and humanitarianism" is so extreme in his incompetence and corruption that its impossible for him to be anything but the antagonist. Objectivism is the opposite extreme to absolute communism and socialism, and neither one would work because we are HUMAN and therefore nothing is black and white and there will always be corrupt people who take advantage of an ideal system.
Atlast Shrugged is good to read with a grain of salt. Don't let it change your life because it's a situation and system that can only work in stories.

KvP:
Also, Rand is / was an influence on Rush. So if you like Rush, chances are you've been subject to some Objectivist ideas, in some form or another.
Emaline:
I like Rush. I like Rush a lot. I have a few Rush shirts I wear all the time.
However, the last person I dated was a communist. And maybe the one before that.
I don't claim to be for any sort of political system/belief because I'm too picky. They all can have their good and bad points.
But I still hate Ayn Rand.
