Not the quote I was looking for, but I'll find it (she likes the word vermin I guess and cockroaches) and then I assume you will apologize? Ayn Rand believed that a few superior captialists should run the world and the rest of us (the unwashed masses-lol) were to obey them. She was a cult leader. She died living on social security and medicare (liberal programs that work and saved her ass) , and the kindnesss of others. Things she spent her whole life disparaging. "Rand herself deploys 'vermin' in one letter and her orthodox heirs would dismiss Barbara Branden, until late 1968 ranked number three in the Objectivist movement, as 'lice.' Considering that lice and cockroaches are owed no moral consideration, and that in any case, as Nathaniel Branden put it, 'once somebody is declared an enemy of Ayn Rand, all morality is suspended,' one shudders at what some literal-minded Objectivists might do to an enemy they saw as posing a threat to the future of the Objectivist movement and hence of civilization."
