I am quite aware of this, my dear friend.  Ms. Rand stood for selfishness AND 
individuality (among many other various things).  I also know that she 
absolutely deplored cynicism...but I don't think she intended all of her 
readers to adopt every single aspect of her philosophy.  I think it's best to 
create a potpourri of different philosophies.  I find it quite dumb to base 
my entire set of ethics and morals on someone else's set of ethics and 
morals.  If I did that in respect to Ayn Rand's philosophy, wouldn't that be 
the greatest contradiction of all?
