The level of hatred in the comments after the article explains a great deal of what is wrong with is country. Not one drop of a substantial argument just hate and venom. I know little of Ayn Rands personality and really do not care. Right is right regardless of the messenger. Character assassination is they have so they have use the only weapon they have....evil. Reason drives them crazy. Truth sends them screaming. The level of irrationality in our society is almost unanimous. I see no way out of this mess. No one is willing to address reality. We have been too good at kicking the can down the road. No one wants to be the adult and if one tries they are shouted down......I am done now.

Blown up, it appears that the quote is photo shopped onto the billboard, and the symbol has clearly been 'placed' in the center of the letter 'O". It almost seems to be an attempt to copyright the altered photo, for some reason.
I think that the entire article is a fake, to stir up some reader activity on the blog.

How can we possibly make the world we want to see when confronted with the kind of vitriolic imbecility demonstrated by comments like those after the billboard post.?
Never a reason, never an example, never an argument, just "I hate her and everything she stands for".
and what can we possibly do with them? We obviously can't educate them, can't teach them to think. They're worthless, yet when we build the world we want to see they will still be in it.
I'm just overcome.

I love the billboard. The article seemed a little snarky and this comment just made me cringe: A block north of the Galt billboard sits Home Care Plus, a medical equipment supplier. Manager Dawn Portokalis says she once inquired about advertising on the billboard and received a quote of $8,000 a month. The amount puzzled her, just like the billboard’s message. “I’ve never researched who John Doe is!” she says. —Jake Malooley
