"not that I didn't want to smack her a lot myself"
I am ROFL over that one

I wanted to smack Ayn AND her characters. But in the end I just feel really sorry for her (for being such a freak) and for the people who seem to feel the freak's works are some how relevant to human beings who have "normal" human feelings. The woman was deeply damaged- I'd love to see a psych profile of her. And while the damaged deserve are pity, I'm not really interested in emulating them.

I think of the line in the Ref wrt human feelings where the woman character says "Didn't your alien leaders teach you that before they sent you here?"

And no, Ayn's alien leaders didn't teach her much...
