I read Rand'... I completely agree with you, sir. I read Rand's The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged in my late teens and early twenties, and always felt something was wrong with her philosophy, especially in the latter book. That philosophy hasn't improved with time.<br /> It's becoming clearer that the shutdown didn't happen because Republicans are stupid, but because they really have no allegiance to the government they're part of, and want to overthrow it, and punish anyone who disagrees with them in the process. Henry Giroux, and others, have written about this, and say it's time to start taking this seriously. These aren't cranks, they're true believers who want to turn this world upside down and create misery for everyone but themselves. A lot of their followers are going to suffer to, since they're not rich, and they don't care about anyone who isn't. Let's try to get the word out to everyone, and take our government back from these creeps. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
