Atlas Shrugged is consistently rated the most influential book, life changing book, people have ever read, second only to the Bible.

Please document.

I think you missed the IMHO part of my post. But, again, IMHO, Rand's philosophy is a simplistic compendium of common sense and egocentricity.

BTW, Glen Beck is also pretty far down on my list of heavy duty thinkers.

I'd love to ask you to get back to me in 30-40 years, but nature prohibits. Have a good one. :o)

Look it up yourself.

This is ad hominem silliness. Simplistic my arse. This just means it is much too deep for you to follow it, so you dismiss it as simplistic. What's your idea of 'complex' philosophy? Hmmmm?

BTW, Glen Beck is also pretty far down on my list of heavy duty thinkers.

The issue wasn't your list of anything. You made a statement that is false, the numbers of people influenced by Rand's work being counted on one hand, or some such. I was giving you an example of why you are wrong.

I'd love to ask you to get back to me in 30-40 years, but nature prohibits.

Non sequitur, age has nothing to do with clear thinking. And I am probably older, with far more experience, than you can imagine. I didn't come to my understanding of Rand's work overnight but over decades.
