re: #7 Virginia Plain

I once read The Fountainhead to write an essay in order to win a monetary prize. Biggest piece of s*** I’ve ever read. She is too simplistic, and her simple ideology is twisted by sociopaths to use however they want to. It’s no surprise that Randian philosophy disproportionately attracts sociopaths.

I had to giggle at that first sentence. Rand would have been proud!

I’ve posted this before. It’s 1 of 5 parts of Rand’s interview with Phil Donahue when she was an old woman already, just after her husband’s death. She initially comes across to the audience as a cute old lady until they end up gasping in horror at her ideas about what we should do to the poor and invalid.
