I think that's when she really caught on. However they are not as much fun anymore, he is starting to see the light, just like most lefties that can actually think.Īyn Rand was a 'thing' back in the 1980's. There are a few lefties around, yes even in a cop shop, and we have our little discussions back and forth. The folk I hang out with work and home generally have the same mindset as I. Perhaps that is what I am doing in todays digital world, talking. There is value in talking there is no value in keeping quiet. There is another part in this book where a person wrights her a letter asking just what can one man do? I would love to know what she would say about the world today. The do however place great value on education and that is now being shaken. Americans are anti-intellectual, and with the current examples no wonder why. This is the price they pay for being the silent and deaf majority. People sense something has gone wrong, they don't know what. There is something that is interesting in that book that I just read this morning. Just hit Chap 18 on Philosophy one thing said in that book, a book that is speeches and papers written by here mainly in the 70's. I was blind going in, and that might have been a good thing, zero clue what it was about. I knew nothing of her book, no plot no underlying anything, nothing about Atlas. Perhaps this thread will make someone do what I did, pick up one of her books. I think I might find some here that might enjoy it as well. I have found I enjoy talking about her views on about everything. I did also read it was a gift after someone found out I was on this kick. If you count books finished this year I have read:Īll of those Rand.

But I did it, sometimes it could have moved faster, other times I re read a section 3-4 times, it was that interesting. What to read, well 'the' book is Atlas Shrugged.good night that is a big'en. So I have come to skim new posts and really hang out in the pit.ĭown there more then a few threads had memes with her quotes and such.ok darn it I will just read her. At one time I did quite a few games, but I just can't move like I once did, I tried bowling pins but that was just a bore, so now just shoot out back, and the odd starling here and there. Originally wanted to do the long range thing, but a standby generator took that money and now I am thinking I am really too old for any real game.

I had see memes with her quotes here and there over the years, spent the 10sec to read them and thought, yup. I think a little personal background on how I came to read her is in order, and will explain the thread a bit.
