I tried to read an Ayn Rand book when I was around 16, but had to quit halfway through because it was almost making me physically ill. Seriously. That was my only attempt to digest her philosophy. Her books were quite popular at the time, but to me they seemed like about the most unpleasant thing of their kind I had ever encountered.

Europe will leave the USA behind, Donuel, because the USA has sold its soul to a completely soulless and destructive philosophy. I hope that Canada has the sense to follow the European mode.
