Oooh, that should spark some debate here! I can see the headline now: Any Rand and Mother Teresa: sisters in philosophy.

So it would appear that Ayn Rand supported Mother Teresa You know better than that. Rand would have said that MT epitomized the irrational and mindless adherents of FAITH and FORCE. She would have said that every woman has a right to her own body, and that using their ignorance and helplessness before the magical power of FAITH to bring agony and misery to millions--was an expression of a magical mindset folowing values of 2000 years previous. She would have said that her begging of money and then not using it for service, but rather storing it in banks for the aggrandizement of (well, I don't know--but I bet we find out...) was the action of a parasite (this is how she talked, as you know). Please don't pretend a commonality between Rand and MT. Follow either one--not both. The idea is bizarre.
