    In the spirit of everything that Jesus stood for, here is a collection of Christmas card sentiments from Ayn Rand.
    Feel free to plagiarize them for your own holiday wishes to your fellow consumers.
    I think that the sentiments are a perfect summations of all that is defective about her philosophy, but I suspect that others will find her Scrooge spirit very inspiring.

    I can't stand Ayn Rand. She was anti-religious, anti-charity, had an unhealthy obsession with money and profit, and she set in place an unfortunate stereotype of capitalists/libertarians. Luckily, not all capitalists are like her. And at the end, after so much hate towards charity and government intervention in the economy, she sure didn't mind accepting that Social Security check.

    A little too cynical for my taste.
