Did you EVEN bother to read my Post?

How could I not read it? You used one inch characters in red to make your point. I responded because you seemed to be claiming that a charge of alcoholism against Rand was somehow outlandish. On the contrary, her addiction to pills and her marriage to an alcoholic make the charge completely understandable, even though, as I said, she may not have consumed as much alcohol as her husband. In AA jargon, Rand was a classic enabler suffering just as severely as Frank did from the "disease" of alcoholism. Sometimes, as in Rand's case, enablers have mood altering addictions of their own.

As for the rest of the stuff you wrote, it's not worth responding to. Out of proportion hostility is a sign of a little mind.

So is judgement, you should leave the judgement to the appropriate members of the Trinity!

Your posts above did give me a new tag line!

From a very recent Ayn fan.
