Read a biography of Rand. You will be horrified.

Her theories of Greed is good were wrong and destructive. She was a destructive person who ended up a crack head on welfare; and she ran a cult where her cult members had to get her Ok to marry or even see a movie.

She convinced one cult member, and her husband, to let her young husband sleep with her. That went on for 14 years. She was also cruel.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - See more at: thomhartmann.com

Ayn Rand was as dumb as a post

That is an ignorant statement.

I wonder why this "dumb as a post person" was honored during the Clinton years with her being placed on a postage stamp?
