Thanks for the link, Kat.  It was Ayn Rand's writing that brought me to Libertarian leanings. Few people notice how close she is to Aristotle on her views of rational self interest. The whole confusion about altruism is the fact that she defined it differently than others.

Despite the fact that she blacklisted Libertarians, I love her work!

Oh me too, Alan.  I read Atlas Shrugged and The Virtue of Selfishness before I read any Libertarian books.
