When did pointlessly mocking Rand become hacker news?<p>By my count, there are 3 jokes in this post, all juvenile:<p>* Atlas Shrugged is long.  No really, it's a long book!  Long books are stupid.<p>* Rand articulates questionable views on romantic relations based largely on notions of dominance. Ha ha, isn't she ridiculous!<p>* Rand's characters are caricatures.  Or archetypes.  Whatever.
