I read Atlas Shrugged in one long day while holed up in a hotel room in a strange city waiting out a storm. It was one of a very few books that I can really call life-changing. Ayn Rand was not a particularly admirable person, and I have some problems with her critique of altruism, but her insight into the human economic condition stands alone. Her characters, the looters and moochers and noble industrialists, are admittedly two-dimensional, but perhaps this makes it easier to correlate them with figures in public life today.
BO-Pelosi-Reid, et al are all ONE dimensional..................THIEVES!............
