"In Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand presents a vision of man that is unlike anything ever written. Rand’s ideal man is the visionary, the genius, the producer. Her foremost representatives of this ideal are businessmen, whom she portrays, at their best, as heroes, not villains; creators, not parasites."

    It's like H. Ford's famous quote - Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.

    Ayn certainly knew the best way to portray both sides of the paradigm... her heroes are truly heroic, willing to sacrifice all and take a stand; the villians are truly cowardly, seld-sanctifying, and seeking to destroy all they come in to contact with...

    It's no wonder (at least to me) wh her books, and the movies from them, are successes, for they speak volumes on truth!
