Let me get one thing out of the way: I have never read Ayn Rand... I did what any self-respecting journalist would do: I called up a friend. "Quick, can you explain Ayn Rand's personal philosophy to me in one sentence?" I asked Fahad Siadat, a professional musician who'd just finished reading Atlas Shrugged... "Think of Kanye West," he said. "He's a total douche bag, but he writes good music. According to Rand, that's what counts." And isn't everyone who follows Rand supposed to be selfish? "They are selfish," Siadat said. "To become the best, you have to do what's right for you, not someone else."
That doesn't sound like the conventional makings of a solid relationship. Maybe these people really do need their own dating site... Joshua Zader, 37... modeled the site after Match.com's pay-to-view profile system... "Ayn Rand has a great quote in The Fountainhead," he told me. "She writes that a person cannot say 'I love you' without first being able to say the I."

I found my conservative husband on eHarmony two years ago, but I had to import him from Kerrville to the People’s republic of Austin.
Chew and screw? Eat it and beat it?
