This video is making the rounds … I cannot help but notice as Rand answers Mike Wallace’s questions that she is totally devoid of compassion, taking about the fate of millions of people as if they were lice. (She is oddly very unsure of her own presence – see how her eyes dart about.) This might be her appeal to the modern-day capitalists – her call to go it alone, not to be burdened with concern for fellow humans. Given this and other known attributes of the woman, is is not a reach to suggest that she was probably a sociopath.
The movie Atlas Shrugged, part one of three, is a real snoozer I am told, with people standing around reading long contrived lines, much like the book itself. Do bad books make even worse movies? It is interesting that it is playing here in Denver at the same time as the movie I AM, which celebrates our caring, loving and sharing attributes, and makes the case that these are as much a part of us as competition and selfishness. I AM is Atlas Shrugged for the 96% of us who suffer those damned things called empathy and conscience.
