I loved the Fountainhead, but it didn't make me crazy. Is that okay?

I liked it when I was younger (when I was 12, that's when I read the Fountainhead). Atlas Shrugged was a good read. I found out that applying Objectivist principles and standards in relationships with friends, relatives and lovers was unpleasant. But hey, that's just me.

It's only unpleasant if you have a problem with saying "You are of no use to me. Leave." on a regular basis.


 Well, true 'nuff! I suppose it depends on the class of people you know. As the song goes "I've got friends in... "

 Why is it that Ayn Rand threads always bring out the wise-crackin' wackos? I suppose I should talk about that with my therapist.

I'm bookmarking the fuck out of this thread. I'll be back. Don't have too much fun without me. I'll have to do some more research on Objectivism before I make any claims one way or the other. As of right now, I can't tell if I agree or not.
