Rand's Atlas Shrugged. The only trouble with Rand's brand of "freedom" is having to take your brain to the cleaners weekly. Libertarians and Randroids. Always walking around and muttering to themselves; worrying about everyone else's lack of morals. Never met a bigger bunch of crooks in my life.

At the same meeting I was interviewed by the philosopher and historian George Walsh, a follower of Ayn Rand. The interview turned out to be a disaster, for after it had already been scheduled Walsh heard from Harry Binswanger — a Randroid loyalist I used to call the Basil Rathbone of the Objectivist gang, since since he seemed to fit the image of a ruthless henchman — that I was a "liar."

[…] She was a very unpleasant lady, and one of the most unpleasant things about her was that she was what you might call a 'born-again Randroid,' someone who'd taken Ayn Rand's teachings to such extremes that she made Rand herself look like a flaming liberal by comparison. You know the type?"

He wasn't leaving responsibility behind — Gov. Bug Lamp, vetoed into irrelevance within South Carolina by his own party and courted for the national stage precisely for his ability to say nothing a teenage Randroid couldn't imagine, fulfilled no real public responsibility.

Despite being populated by Randroids (Ayn Rand devotees) and sci-fi geeks, 4chan's literature board is another that continually surprises with clever content.
