What's even funnier than this is that Ubama's campaign offices were shrines to the cold-blooded murderer Ernesto "Che" Guevara, and Democrats everywhere proudly where his image on their t-shirts.

At times, Rand -- who, we must remember, was still quite young when she wrote these notes

Later she realized the importance of non-initiation of force against the innocent and only for self defense against force, and the necessity of non violation of natural rights.

“the absolute lack of social instinct or herd feeling. He does not understand, because he has no organ for understanding, the necessity, meaning, or importance of other people ... Other people do not exist for him and he does not understand why they should.”

In other words, a sociopath.

Rand's character Galt was well known for his prediliction to rape and murder.

You need help. Seek it.

The entire piece is articulate, persuasive, and well written. So why does a good writer like Michael Prescott waste his manifest talent on serial killer stories?
