OThales:Firstly, don't read this article for information on Ayn Rand. It's nothing but swill. It's full of falsehoods, and thus worse than worthless.
This whole idea of "supermen" is b.s. She believed there were men of superior ability (which is true), but she believed all men should be free to pursue their lives and happiness. She did not hold contempt for people who were positive value pursuers. She respected them.
As to your rhetoric on murder and the like, Ayn Rand believed in INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, which means observing the rights of others. So it's clear right away that you (and the guy who wrote the article) just don't know what you're talking about. She also had a very clear code of morality, which was life promoting -- for everyone -- to the nth degree. Read Ayn Rand if you are want to make honest evaluations, otherwise you're just spreading swill.
Really? She believes in individual rights for parasites? How about the little girl Hickman murdered? It appears you are greatly confused about what a shitbag the bitch was.
