While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a
privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
- You must reach a Gulch score of 100. You can earn points in the Gulch by posting content, commenting, or by other members voting up your posts.
- You may upgrade to a Galt's Gulch Producer membership to immediately gain these privileges.
Your current Gulch score:
(That doesn't mean I can't be wrong but, in this case, I am not.)

I could point you to the relevant passages, but in light of your discourtesy I'll simply say, "Look it up."
Without spending the time to spell it out, I will just say that her characters were definitely not "libertarian". But as you mis-defined the term, you are correct.
It's kinda like an extension of Alabama with Panama City, FL, nicknamed "the Redneck Riviera," though Florida has a legal state lottery and no state taxes.
(Rational limits on weapons ownership and objective vs subjective morality being two important ones.)
All the heros in AS are Obj's of course.
