And just why is Ayn Rand in the wrong here? The underlying principle of
her philosophy is that the individual is always more important than the
group. (as I am an individual, I agree with this axiom)
The only way this project gets done is by the efforts of each of us as
individuals applying our individual skills to the problem at hand.
Any reasons you have "to hang around" are your own, don't go blaming Ayn
for your perceptions.
