@davetroy Yay, but with many reservations. There are elements in her stories that resonate with me, but not the parts that others use to justify selfishness. There's a scene in Atlas Shrugged, for instance, in which the gone-wrong scientist talks about the joy of encountering someone better than him, and getting to look up to another.
