hell’s handmaiden

I haven’t read much of Ayn Rand, though I’ve been told on the rare occasion that I sometimes say things that sound like her. I’m not sure if that is true. I do know of elements of her philosophy that I can agree to, at least on a prima facia basis. And frankly, she looks like– literally, looks like– someone I would have liked. I know, silly. Sounds like I should read Rand. Why haven’t I? Well… Rand seems to have generated a following that is– How should I say this?– a wee bit dogmatic.
