... that the likes of Ayn Rand preach are. And if he wants to continue down that path and lose friends like that, then in my book he's a sociopath and not a friend. If he starts to realize that selfishness ultimately costs people friends, and if really comes to the realization that's something that he can't lose, then he's worth trying to work things out with.

As many people that claim to be "libertarians" today because some try to make it stylish, I really don't believe that all of them are sociopaths. I think the real goal for us should be to isolate those that arent sociopaths and have them start to realize that this religion of selfishness really isn't what they've been sold it to be, and ultimately is something that will cost them more than it will gain them for what they really value in life.
