Are you saying the ideas were good? [in Atlas Shrugged]

It was a great book, and the fact that she was an atheist has nothing to do with it.

Atlas Shrugged (and The Fountainhead, and We the Living, and Anthem] is a book about individualism, and how all of Western society would crumble without individuals taking risk and building their enterprises for their own reasons.

And Atlas Shrugged is also a great cautionary tale of how such a country could slide into socialism by forgetting these basics of human nature.

Atlas Shrugged should be read by every American preferably before they start voting.

Good Day, Rob. The only problem with that is that no one would vote until they reach 30.
