I am not a blogger or active at posting comments, but intrigued enough to add a thought or two ... As a fan of Objectivism, I wish people would understand (or read) 'the virtue of selfishness'. That phrase alone brings a 'scoff' from people who won't stop, listen, or read, or think. Anyone who is 'selfish' is bad in their mind because of indoctrination. The negative view of being selfish they learn in school but never Rand's explanation of the word as it means to her and Objectivism.
