I've never understood the Any Rand thing. Adam Smith said it better and with fewer words.

I tend to agree with the Randites, but it's all a little too L. Ron Hubbard for me.

That's absurd.

Adam Smith did say it better, but both books are completely different. One is a fiction (at least it was until Nov 4th), one is non fiction.

Your second comment about L. Ron Hubbard is without a once of sense

Have that second cup of coffee :)

It's a great novel demonstrating the evils of collectivism.

It celebrates rugged individualism while disparaging the mediocrity of "group think" and consensus.
