I personally have no problem with the John Rogers quote as a response to my comment since I don't think the poster meant to attack me as a person (at least I hope so :) ). After all it's not like I made some broad statement endorsing Ayn Rand. Funnily enough the xkcd-comic you linked really made an impression on me when it was first posted, since at the time I was having that exact thought almost every day. XKCD showed me how foolish that was and I was and am really thankful for that. (Even though my false sense of superiority was pretty comforting)
