I read The Fountainhead when I was 17. I definitely mulled those ideas over for some time. But the rape thing. That was almost a warning sign, even then. Something here is not quite right.

I do think that Rand helped push me along to a better place, however. I now understand that ideals and ideology are not one and the same. Also, purity in action is a lie. It is a sure route to hypocrisy. Worthy deeds and efforts are always wrought with complexity.
