Did this John Aglialoro have anything to do with “Cop Rock”?

While we’re on the subject, has anyone here actually managed to read “Atlas Shrugged” cover-to-cover?

I've read it several times. Thought it was pretty good stuff, until I realized that Rand's philosophy is founded on assertions that don't withstand the logical scrutiny she herself demanded.

It became clear to me, for example, that Rand's philosophy cannot withstand the moral implications of something so natural as being a parent.

So much for that, then.

Yes, several times. Also, I had the abridged audio tapes which were about 12 hours. Loaned them to a soldier and they’re still getting some use in Afghanistan.

Only four times. I'm a slow reader.

Well, OK. John Aglialoro, meet Charlie Sheen.

Maybe part 2 would be interpretive dance?

I did it once. Rand has the power to make a 50-page speech interesting.

From what I manage to gather, “Objectivism” makes a certain amount of horse sense but she takes the concept to extremes.

“Enlightened Self-Interest” is more my style.

In this case, I’ll go with your Cliff’s Notes version.

It’s way better than Cliff’s Notes. It’s a serious look at the book with discussion topics for reading circles and book clubs.
