"I unashamedly worship Ayn Rand ... not because she was flawless, but because she was a heroine of unsurpassable rarity.

"To worship someone means to hold them adoringly in high regard or to revere them - and more than any other person, she deserves that from those who admire and love her work.

"Heroes and heroines in the philosophical realm are so utterly scarce in this world. It is bad form to crap on such people and constantly highlight their foibles - in fact it's downright base as well as being a hallmark of mediocrity to do so."
