Is there a good refutation of Ayn Rand's philosophy anywhere? Today it seems as though more and more people are using a simplified version of her approach to justify being completely selfish. Is there a philosophical defense of selfless service, or is this just naive idealism?

I'm only moderately familiar with Rand's work, but one of my colleagues at the University of Michigan has a webpage devoted to refuting some of Rand's most well-known arguments. If you're interested, you can find it here.
