The horseshit known as Objectivism

Believe it or not, Ayn Rand was one of the chief architects of what currently passes for the United States of America. Her beliefs (many of which are now our beliefs) are outlined in this interview on the Johnny Carson show:

Her overall "philosophy" is fundamentally anti-Christian. Its near universal adoption through the actions of Alan Greenspan and Rand's other disciples and minions was a disaster for this country and for the world.

People do NOT act according to "rational self interest", and I would argue that we are not even capable of such a thing. The proof of my assertion can be found in the economic wreckage we call the global economy.
