Ayn Rand at the hands of Ringer, Wallace, Buckley and Chambers!

SEE HERE Robert Ringer goes down memory lane to an old Mike Wallace interview with Ayn Rand. One can't agree entirely with Rand I think, but one can't ignore her either. Human freedom isn't without obligations. We are free and true freedom is doing what we ought to do.

Buckley on Rand!

WHITTAKER CHAMBERS ON ATLAS SHRUGGED
The problem with Rand is the deification of selfishness and a fundamental failure of humanity. So while I agree that the interests of the individual are important it is more important to recognize that morality is not merely about the self. Failure to take into account the good of others is to deny your own humanity.
