It occurs to me that if you really want to give a big fuck-you to Ayn Rand you could dub your pirated copy with commentary, Mystery Science Theatre 3000 style. Then upload it without any implication of your editing in the title or description.
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

Ive never read Atlas Shrugged (tl;dr) but I know Ayn Rand was really critical of religion, especially Christianity. How often is that brough up in Atlas Shrugged?

I think Atlas Shrugged is more about how Liberals want to shut down anything that's productive.

And some rape.  It isn't an Ayn Rand novel without a little rape.

But rape is okay if he's her ideal archetype!

Or was it ideological ideal?

It's been about 10 years since I read it (and I have no plans to revisit it ever)
but I do remember it being anti-religious at least to a degree I came out of the book understanding that objectivism was indeed atheistic even without knowing anything about the philosophy previously.
I figure they will cut that part. It's technically not changing any of the dialogue if it isn't even there.
She also rejects families and family values completely. Figure that part might be cut out. Or maybe FreedomWorks actually doesn't realize who inhabits the tea party movement.
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

I think GS actually said it best when it came to Ayn Rand:

I guess that explains her rape fantasy fixation.

He had to read Atlas Shrugged and analyze her as an author. He told me he couldn't even get through the book.  :x

Glittersnatch would be a rather unfortunate condition, if a halfway decent troll name.
