"Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand

sorry guys i couldn't find on the border. i just moved to texas and still finding my way around. i goggled the directions and was doing fine until i took murphy drive exit. then it started to threathen rain and i just rode back on my scooter... anyhoo, wanted to say that yesterday's meeting was great and would have liked the political discussion for sure. how should we structure govt, etc. look forward to the next meeting

I loved this book. I am a very strong conservative and this book scares the hell out of me because I see it in today's world. Wow!!!

I wouldn't say that this big book is heavy but I do like how it bends light.

I'm political, but don't let it stand in the way of friendships. Fiscally moderate Socially liberal - although less so on the 'entitlement' areas

Independent: fiscally conserv., pro-civil rts for gays, anti-abortion, for 95% free mkt economy w/some govt oversight to deter/detect fraud, for 10% flat tax, oppose any entitlement that would exceed 24 months in an individual's lifetime, not an isolationist (promote/protect democracy/capitalism to thwart creeping, global authoritarian menaces that take people's property and/or their liberty; don't want to wake up to planet that is 90% enslaved to authoritarian regimes 'cause we'd be next).

I'd be interested to see how people react to this book based on their political affiliation. If you don't mind sharing yours, please post a comment below. Mine -- very political, Libertarian.
