Second, as a preemptive strike on the haters (preemptive strikes being something that followers of Rand fully support to my knowledge)

Whoa, re-read Rand please. Your knowledge is lacking.

ZOMG i am getting called out (and i intended to post from a sympathetic position in the first place!), i am going to have to go do some digging. I remember specifically reading that Rand believes that defending corporate interests can be just cause for war. kind of like how she says america shouldn't have allowed these countries to nationalize their oil production. i guess objectivists wouldn't consider that a truly preemptive strike, since its a violent retaliation after harm (but not really violent harm) has been imposed on a country.

the broad strokes of Rand's philosophy is pretty inoffensive are almost universally followed by the average joe. She gets a really bad rap because his books aren't that well written (though the underlying claims are compelling).

Are you confusing Ayn Rand with someone else? Ayn Rand is a female.

So i am a border-line dyslexic retard, i make dumb mistakes with grammar all the time, particularly when i am multitasking when posting. so if you are a grammar nit, just call me an idiot and move on i guess.

this is why i take out the trash when my roommate is sick, we both want the trash out, we both rather have someone else do it in a vacuum, but the guy is sick and i care about his welfare and i would like to take some burden off his shoulders because frankly that would make me happy.
