    Nice, but I don’t think guts are going to help as long as the continued success of the gutsy continues to serve the ultimate needs of the gutless.

    Which was kinda the point of Atlas Shrugged.

    Apo’s correct; but Broocke’s right about the silly, SciFi part of Shrugged.

    Still, until you can escape, the satisfaction one gets from leaning across a desk and explaining yourself to some gov/corp bureaucrat can’t be overstated, especially if you can yank some funding out of their grasp. Personally, I favor tearing up a document they’ve spent the last half hour helping you fill out. Better if somebody else sees that, too, so an explanation/discussion will happen when you’re gone. Let ‘em think you’re a jackass … you are, but at least you’re not a knucklehead.

    Oh, AS was far from a good novel. Looked at from that angle, it was a friggin’ cartoon.

    But it was a great political and philosophical treatise, and couching it in the form of a novel got more people to read it than would have ever picked up a scholarly paper on the subject. Which was a brilliant damn move.
