More Rand!

In all my link hunting for Ayn Rand's birthday, I forgot to mention the best use of Ayn Rand as a fictional character: Matt Ruff's Sewer, Gas, and Electric: The Public Works Trilogy. Anybody who uses a lantern occupied by an AI of Ayn Rand as a major character deserves some kind of recognition. I also love this book because of a great line from it:
It's easy to renounce physical violence if you aren't very good at it.
Which, in my opinion, explains a lot about the infatuation with pacifism you find in certain kinds of people.
