If I had more time and the inclination, I would go through this article and untangle the arguably valid criticisms from the invalid. However, it amounts to a fly swatting exercise and I've got better things to do. As with virtually all criticsms of Rand, I see nothing that passes for a rational critique of her philosophy, as delineated in Galt's speech. It is for that philosophy that I have read and reread Atlas Shrugged. As a writer, I respectfully part company with Maphesdus's assessement of AS as "beautiful poetry." Much of Rand's writing is turgid and repetitive, in my opinion, but that's a subjective point and there are a few passages of her writing I consider literature.

I'm not sure I could come up with enough derogatory words to describe the writing in this article. Pure-dee socialism at it's most despicable.
