Title: Miss Taggart is incorrect
Review: Begging the pardon of Miss Dagny Taggart, but - railroad magnate or no - she is quite incorrect.Miss Rand did indeed believe in a 'higher power'. More precisely, she believed in two of them: the 'benevolent universe' ('existence', the 'facts of reality') and the human being (including and especially herself).In her attempted rejection of G-d she merely parcelled out the Divine attributes between these two 'higher powers' (for example, 'existence' is eternal, and 'man' is self-creating). I object to the foundations of her 'philosophy' not because she failed to believe in any 'higher power' but because she believed in the wrong one(s).Miss Taggart's own Member Page includes the following remark: 'My whole life is a contradiction'. Indeed, so was Miss Rand's - though I hardly think she would approve of her ATLAS SHRUGGED protagonist's namesake thus acquiescing to irrationality!
