Ayn rand was an intelliget lady. I read a couple of her books, Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged. I thought both were very good.

I believe you can still watch the three part movie of Atlas Shrugged on You tube. Great movie! The first part is a little dull, but hang abound for part two and three.

the right/left yardstick is a French Revolution-born human measure. It reflects the political spectrum, which is determined by the people’s range of beliefs. Christians, however (and everyone, in fact), should make Truth their yardstick. This inerrant guide doesn’t compromise and build consensus, either; it’s not a politician. It dictates where reality lies. And in a civilization claiming 2+2=5, it’s with the “extremist” who insists it’s 4. For God’s realism so often is man’s radicalism.

  I read both those books, she was an intelligent lady... I only wish she had found her savior before her passing, in 1982.

   ..But being born in Russia and raised in the Soviet Union..she was possibly cheated out of a proper introduction, thus her writings were
     based on a purely matrerialistic view.
