Johnny Carson interview with Ayn Rand

Daily Kos
I just stumbled upon an article in Salon published today by David Haglund:
Did You See This? Ayn Rand on Johnny Carson
http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2012/08/14/ayn_rand_on_johnny_carson_watch_the_full_tonight_show_interview_video_.html

In it is a two part video uploaded to YouTube by warpicachu of Johnny Carson interview Ayn Rand in depth on her philosophy. It's amazing, the absolute kiss of death to the Ryan/Romney ticket.

She explains the core concept of her teaching, the central value, which is selfishness.

See the videos below the fold, and enjoy.
