2. Well, that's Ayn Rand for ya - all appearance, no substance.
Of course, people prefer appearance to substance, but nobody's perfect... :D

5. My username for most websites and games.
He represents the epitome of a revolutionary. Makes a decent name for when you're fighting in a foreign warzone, or posting on a cannabis forum.

6. Brad Pitt, if the rumors are true
Dagny Taggart will be played by Angelina Jolie.

12. Oh I LOVE that.
Is this strip somewhere out there, or is it paper based? BOY did they nail the biggest of all Rand fallacies.

You know, if you want burgers, someone has to man the Burger King. ALL labor has value.

11. Isn't your avatar closer to John Galt?
Brilliant, misanthropic, absurdly over-dramatic?
