That stupid comment could come only from the shallowest of readers, buying the first miniscule thought that clouds the mind before it can realize a basic concept. In four (so far) readings of Rand's masterpiece, I have yet to find her preaching or proselytizing; she is the epitome of cutting to the chase, exposing the most basic principles and the consequence of trying to avoid their discipline. We are seeing today the clearest demonstration of her accuracy this or any nation has witnessed -- god (or whatever) help America!
