Did You Really Need To Read The Execrable Ayn Rand To Learn Everyone Has Wants And Needs?

Really?  Cuz that leads me to think that maybe you never read anything OTHER than Ayn Rand's dreadful tripe.  Pretty much any decent novel will portray characters who are conflicted but not evil, who have desires and goals but who are not shallow as a puddle and dumb as fucking rocks.  Kids can be stupid, but if you're gonna be lame enough to waste time reading Ayn Rand, drop your dick for a minute and get to the fucking library or something.  Jesus.
