Yes, I know. I read “Atlas Shrugged for the first time when I was about 12. I’ve read it something like 9 or 10 times maybe more.... I read my paperback version so many times that it fell apart, literally.

I read “The Fountainhead” at least as many times. I have not seen the movie that just recently came out. Given how HUGE the book was, I cannot see how it could possibly be condensed into 2 hours of film.

I can tell you this with certainty: Ayn Rand was prophetic, and correct.

Things are going to get bad unless America wakes the hell up and stops this monstrosity. It starts with getting Obama the hell out of our house, then we MUST strangle government. Donofrio is right, we must also reassert OUR power over the courts.

We have allowed ourselves to become subservient to government in all it’s forms. Only WE can stop it.

The movie is part one of 3 parts, so it was not that condensed. And yes, Rand was prophetic, even though as an atheist she knows not where that ability came from. But no doubt, prophetic to an amazing degree.

Same here. I now have it on my iPad. It's much easier to read now.
