On Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand, was an imperfect woman.

She smoked too much,
defined a code of morality that frankly scares me, and
denied value in faith in anything beyond weak and fragile man.

But the one concept central to her thought and philosophy,
That the creative power of man is the key to the success of America and ultimately mankind ...

Is more right than every combined wrong in her tortured life.
