Been awhile. What was I doing? Reading Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. Wow. Long book well worth my time to solidify what I vaguely believed to be true. Can't believe I had never read this book before. If you believe the individual is the key to the human condition, you will find value in reading this book. If you wonder why the world seems to be going the wrong way and can't put your finger on the why, read this book.
Ayn Rand shines a light deep inside mankind and exposes the anti-life philosophy we are burdened by and deftly illustrates not only the ills of collective sacrifice, looting of productive human beings and receiving that which you have not earned based on the vagaries of need that is the root of progressive thought. The twisted reversal of morality is at the heart of the struggles we face in society is illustrated in great depth in every page of her work.
As I have just moments ago put down this book, I am processing the information fully for the first time and trying to apply it to every aspect of my world, and wow, is the world busy right now. From the pending disastrous adventure in Libya, to the new federal election campaign, to the US days away from government shutdown, there are lots to talk about, and I hope to post more often going forward.
I have to stop tweeting interesting topics and stopping there.
Listening to a News Report right now, sounds like when the Regimists stop using flying tanks, the Insurrectionists are forced to 'strategically withdraw.' The Insurrectionists are begging for close air support from the US and coalition forces, forces that have claimed they are not picking sides, but are the only reason the Regimists had to 'strategically withdraw' earlier. Yes, Libya is going to go great!

Welcome to Galt's Gulch. I hope you'll enjoy your stay among the rest of us Producers and Strikers.
Atlas Shrugged is a great book. My next trip will be Anthem, and I have heard many good things.
I re-read(4th time) Atlas Shrugged a few weeks ago (my blog also suffered for it), you can not skim this book, you need to read every page, every word. It is my #1 favorite read of all time.
It will take you awhile to digest it, but you will start to see why you support the Conservatives. Take the Liberal education give away today, those who agree want the government to support them from cradle to grave.
@Don I read Anthem in February, and loved it, talked about it so much, my Michelle found Atlas Shrugged for me. Anthem was like a basis, introduce the responsibility of being an individual for the benefit of yourself and indirectly mankind, while Atlas was the tour de force
Atlas Shrugged is greatest economic philosophy novels ever written.
Read it a while ago. The 400 page monologue by Galt was a little long but an epic book despite that.
The best part was the undressing that d'Anconia gave some useless elitist in the middle of a dinner party when he overheard all his shallow leftist blather.
