Same here. Read Atlas Shrugged like four times, starting in high school. But as you get older, if you keep an open mind, you start to see that altruism isn’t a bad thing. I think it is the “liberty” part that gets us all because the first reaction to the word “liberty” is to say “Uhmmm- liberty good”, then you realize all the stuff built into their concept. Somewhere there has to be some common sense.
