"Rand dealt with that by blandly ignoring the issue. She never had kids, and I
doubt very much that she ever gave them a moment's thought. Too inconvenient. 
That messy reality thing, you know? It's much more fun to write 800-page 
superhero comic books and then declare them by fiat to be an accurate 
description of reality. It helps to have disciples who'll tell you you're not 
a psychopath."                                                        (--80md)
