...after which I threw it in the garbage can.
During the cold war Ayn Rand was required reading at a lot of schools. And strangely popular with the hippies, oddly enough. I think it was the bits about unmarried sex. Anyhow, one way or another I read the whole set, way back when.
Of course I read Adam Smith, Sartre, Rachel Carson, Gahndi, 'Mein Kampf', MLK, Plato, Ralph Nader, Hunter S Thompson, Huey Newton, Jefferson, Wittgenstein, and Karl Marx as well. Not to mention 'Steal this book.' Being well rounded in your ideology was a big deal back then.
Today just being for or against Microsoft or a balanced budget or forcing teachers to know how to read passes for ideology.
Ah Well.
