Ayn Rand was an optimist
Reading the rants by the loony left in this forum reminds me of Ayn Rand's
work "Atlas Shrugged". The loonies in that book were anti-capitalism, pro confiscatory taxes, anti-intellectual, pro welfare on a massive scale, and deniers of the work ethic. The people who built this country finally went on strike, refusing to go along with the government "czars" and ridiculous edicts. She was amazingly prophetic. It's time for another shrug. BTW, before bpuharic ) chimes in with another inane ad hominem response about right-wingers, I disagreed with them also when they started acting like democrats while Bush was in office. |

I read Ms. Turgidity's books when I was in high school. They seemed sophomoric then, and I am sure they would be worse now. |

When are you going to stop this name bouncing Harry? plonk Scotty I hope you really mean it this time. It's unhealthy for you to be so obsessed with me. |

Ayn Rand was a former screenwriter who convinced a lot of people who were foolish to take a badly written novels and try and make them into an economic reality. -- Nom=de=Plume |

Like the Freak would ever tackle a book with the intellectual complexity of Atlas Shrugged -- and have come away with an analysis. Cliff Notes would be over his head. |

The plum states it is badly written, poor economics, and jps says it is a brilliant novel beyond comprehension by mere mortals. Could you 2 go off line , maybe include Harry and deside what it is. |

I read her books ... two major ones. Mainly, I got the point after a few hundred pages. I got a headache after the next few hundred. Unlike Steinbeck, her writings do not improve with age. There is no chance SnottyScotty read either of her two big, overdone novels. |
