Atlas Shrugged is a fine book, but let's face it, it's 50 years old!

Trains are great, but not quite cutting edge.

May I humbly suggest a replacement that is up to date, and fresh off the presses:

... and currently ranked #69 on Amazon's Best Sellers list. Not bad for a book a half-century old.

I love the smell of shameless self-promotion in the morning.

I think we need more fiction from this perspective... maybe libertyfic.proboards.com will actually get some members some day? I just posted the first 2 pages of a story I started yesterday, based in a future of a crumbling America

I don't know... With all the talk of stimulus porkulus money going to "high speed rail lines" to be developed (not just from LA to LV, but all over, including the state of MO), sometimes it seems as if the looters actually trying to use AS as a guide! As if they are currently reading the book, and saying to themselves, "I see myself in these pages! How cool! What a bunch of great ideas!" But they haven't quite gotten around to reading the ending...
