So I made a mistake as I was hurrying. Big deal. I find it interesting you concentrate on a simple mistake and avoid the thesis which is Ayn Rand's behavior and philosophy. I have studied Ayn Rand for 50 years. I know her personality, beliefs, life style and philosophy well.

She called the worker vermin, and felt the "philosopher king" should rule. Her philosopher king. She led a cult where she demanded complete obeyance and one women to give her husband to her to sleep with. A young man 20 years or so her junior. so much for freedom and individuality.

She was a callous nasty person full of hate and delusions. She had no redeeming qualities. I would guess a sociopath.

The Libertarians, often claim her, but libertarianism is a myth. People will not be free if they get rid of government or a power sources, as another person, or government will always come in to fill the void. As I have pointed out the most libertarian time in recent history was 400 AD to 1,000 AD. There was no large centralized government like in Greek and roman times.

They called it the Dark ages and life was horrible.
