I think you have it right Julie. She's an engaging writer but you have the problem pegged pretty well, in short, a set of blinders.

Sorry about that Jimbo I clearly have not made a study of Ayn Rand, and my analysis was based entirely on my reading of Atlas Shrugged in college. If I¹ve got her entirely wrong, I¹m sorry, but I don¹t think that I am the only one who sees her writing being used to support a social construct that, while certainly forcing people to take the blame for their own actions, it also seemed that there was a lot of ³not my problem² in it. Maybe I¹ll give it another try.
