"YEAH....BUT FOR ME IT'S DIFFERENT. IT REALLY IS. SERIOUSLY. NO. WAIT. I CAN EXPLAIN..." - AYN RAND

Revealed in the "Oral History of Ayn Rand" by the founder of 

 the media department at the Ayn Rand Institute: In the end 

 Rand was (secretly) one of the parasites she despised. Eva 

Pryor (a consultant to Rand's law firm of Ernst, Cane, Gitlin 

 and Winick) verified that on Rand's behalf she secured Social 

 Security and Medicare payments which Ayn received 

under the name of Ann O'Connor (husband Frank O'Connor). 

 Pryor said, "Doctors cost a lot more money than books earn 

 and she could be totally wiped out" without the aid of these 

 two government programs. Ayn took the bail out. Throughout 

 her life she said it was wrong and weak for everyone else to 

 do so..

    Ayn Rand is your garden variety sociopath. I find her somewhat fascinating from a psychological standpoint, but also find it unbelievable that anyone would find her ideas or philosophies acceptable in a civil society. Well...unless they are also sociopathic.
