Default 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.

Blech... 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.

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.

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.

I am confused. 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.

Unlike Steinbeck, her writings do not improve with age. There is no
chance SnottyScotty read either of her two big, overdone novels.
