[WikiEN-l] Ayn Rand and Wikipedia

This is closer to Ayn's own view.
My take on her view is "an altruist, is someone who gives up something our  
of their own *needs* (i.e. not their excess) to someone else who has done  
nothing to deserve it".  Ayn was not against giving your excess to  charity.

significantly cost you) to do what you  do.
