It's clearly a poorly written article, but that doesn't change how insane Ayn Rand was. No one with any sort of intelligence believes in Objectivism. It's just silly to think that humanity's morals just happen "to be" in the world, disregarding any social influences, any preexisting social constructions reality, meaning ALL of our existence is factual and reason based. Postmodernist theory essentially disproves every statement she's made on reality and reason. Don't waste your time on Atlas Shrugged when you could be reading Against the Day.
Hate is allowed in a free society....and it happens all the time. I find it pointless to generalize and hate...but it seems common.

Not really... There are constitutional protections against hate speech and "fighting words." I believe if you read my post I said hate is allowed in a free society. You cannot dictate emotions. People ARE allowed to hate who they want...... And your Wiki link does not to dispel that.... Ok, well then hate is allowed in any society, no matter it's level freedom. You might as well have said hate exists... I figured since we were talking about the protest you were referencing free speech laws, in which case hate speech is actually limited.
