I was taking about Rand's philosophy in general, not just Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. http://groups.google.com/group/sci.philosophy.tech/msg/8cb6b00e1261ace6 http://groups.google.com/group/sci.philosophy.tech/msg/8cb6b... http://www.overcomingbias.com/2007/12/ayn-rand.html http://www.overcomingbias.com/2007/12/ayn-rand.html The values you describe are good ones for the most part (the devil, as ever, is in the details), but I have little interest in Rand's development of them given what I've about the rest of her work, and the fruits thereof. Maybe that's unfair, but life is short.
