It is pretty rare for someone to have no ideas that make sense.

As far as I'm concerned, non-aggression means individuals should be free to live their lives as they choose as long as they don't initiate physical violence or financial fraud against others.
So, you are good with people stealing, so long as they aren't deceitful about it? I'm taking your bike now. Don't plan on returning it, and I trust that you won't use violence to stop me. Also, going to have to cut the electrical lines to your house. They aren't your property, and I will use the utmost of care in ensuring that I don't hit anyone with the wires.
How about people non-violently bothering others with no financial incentive? Pooping on the sidewalk outside of your home isn't even remotely violent.

As for Rand vs me. I'm a libertarian, and Rand hated libertarians, calling them "the hippies of the right."
As you noted above, some of her ideas make sense. Libertarianism would be excellent if it was even remotely related to actual humans. It isn't quite as good as my philosophy*
Quote:
Rand was also an atheist, which makes her light years less an idiot than most humans.
There are plenty of atheists who are literally** ******ed.
*Brianism. Its only fault is that it only applies to humans who can fly by flapping their arms, which consequently makes it slightly more relevant to actual humanity than Rand or libertarianism.
**I mean "literally" in the old sense, where it meant "literally."
