Well, as far as I read "The virtue of selfishness", there were some things I could agree with.

The main issue I find with a number of thoughts expressed in that book as well as Wikipedia entry (as I haven't read Atlas Shrugged &c) seems to be that Rand says that selfishness is good, provided we use her definition of selfishness as well as her definition of human life (vs mere existence) and other terms.

It is way too easy for those who want, to just cut parts of her argumentation to defend about any selfish position -- using the word in the general, not Rand's sense.
