This comment doesn’t make any point that I haven’t already addressed in my reply to the parent comment. I’d recommend reading it a little more carefully before downvoting.




While we disagree on Rands work, I do respect a reasoned opinion.

I agree down-voting just makes people emotional, and doesn't add anything.

Personally, I saw Rands writing as lazy thinly veiled fictional despotism, and targeted peoples need for simple answers in a chaotic world.

This doesn't mean both perspectives can't seem true =3

I was talking about your reply, as burying your comment was not polite.

The Internet is a big place, and some people are always having a bad day. =3
