Dave Winer has a *great* post here about Ayn Rand.
Interestingly his experience is similar to mine. I read a few of Ayn Rand's books when I was a young bloke - in my 20's. They were passed to me by my father-in-law. I still don't know if he was serious about "The Fountainhead" or not. And it's too late to ask him ;-)
Anyway I got over it soon enough - and went on to recognise it for the twaddle that it is.
As Dave says - snowstorms and sickness are socialist.
I suspect that the only people who think Rand was onto something are those who don't get out much - and/or those who don't read or understand what goes on in the world.
They seem to be nostalgia buffs. As in things were better back when ...
