Rand and Smith

Not very flattering article, but surprising that she's known 1/2 way around the world.

It doesn't surprise me. I've never seen that picture before, was very glad to see it.

Her name might be known, but it is obvious that her ideas are not known by the author of the article.

"Not very flattering"??? This article is hilarious. Yes, it's a minor problem that some people never exposed to Ayn Rand's ideas might read this article and remain never exposed to her ideas, but it is so disordered, ignorant, and ill-informed, that anyone who's read anything by Adam Smith and understood it, would recognize this guy as useless, sweep the article off the table and into the dustbin of history (or the nearest wastebasket, if the Dustbin of History is out on the curb waiting for the Garbage Truck of History), and go out and pick up a copy of This Ayn Rand Lady's books to see what else this guy is trying to hide, obscure, and misrepresent.

When someone I know to be a fool appears to be threated enough to vilify some intellectual or another, I am certainly curious to see what they actually said.
