I don't accept any philosophies 100%, I just use them to sharpen my thinking and my ethics. I have a strong tendency for altruism, and perhaps I like her philosophy, because it challenges my assumptions and helps me find out why I do what I do.
I read quite a bit of her nonfiction in my college days, and at the time I found it appealing. Her ideas about personal responsibility were influential, but her economic ideals showed themselves unrealistic to my mind.
