  " Atlas Shrugged argue in favor of capitalism and the individual. I have notived a leftist trend in PVN. How can everyone here who believes in the left (i.e larger government, state run programs, etc.) enjoy Ayn Rands work "

  Ah...

  Rand argued for lassie faire capitalsim. One can support the open market without bieng that naive?

  Absolute leftists (say Marx) seem to elevate the "hive" with ideological zeal...

  Absolute rightists (say Rand) do the same to the individual.

  ...guess it'd be nice if society were so black and white. I'd say it obvisous that selfishness is hard wired, but alturism seems to be as well...

  Rand and Marx both share simplistic world views best left in the past.

  The End.
