> back and forth between the teacher and the student I got the distinct

> are there any academic professionals that take Ayn Rand seriously"? His 
> answer was unequivocal. All he said was, "Ahhhhh, ...no". But the way he 
> said it was such that everyone laughed real hard. That was the end of that

> About a week later I saw a news article about a rich business man who was 
> frustrated at the fact that no American colleges or Universities are 
> willing to teach Ayn Rand, so he put up a big pile of money in an attempt 
> to get an institution of higher learning to teach a course on her work. 
> Apparently, you literally can't even pay people to teach that crap.

> My point? Ayn Rand fans aren't to be taken seriously as thinkers. Would-be 
> intellectuals would be wise to keep their admiration to themselves or, 
> better yet, re-think that fondness.

> She was also voted "worst novelist of all time". And the Church of Satan

> If you're a philosopher, loving Any Rand ought to be your deepest, darkest
