I have never even read the book.
But, in my defense, I am for sure not a commie.

I was a card carrying Liberal in school my life goal was to be a Public defend and right the wrongs done to the oppressed. This is not a joke it was my goal and I worked at it. Had completed some college courses a head of time. Then life hit me up side the head and I woke up to a different world . That world open my eyes.
Atlas Shrugged and We the living among other things were a part of that wake up.

I have never met Smitty or RPD or others on this forum, but I can tell you that God blessed us when He decided them to be Warrior's.
Thank you Sir!
I plan on getting all Atlas Shrugged and watching them all back to back.

Just got back. It was pretty well done, but not as good as the first two. Although I was really wondering how they were going to be able to do it because the final scene in the book is such an epic thing. They did a good job. Still, if you have not read the book, read it, then watch the movies.
The guy that played John Galt was perfect. So was the guy that played Frisco. The chick that played Dagny Taggert was not. First of all, she was a brunette in the book. She was blond in the movie. (I do not know why that bothered me, but it did.) Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Ron Paul!!!!!11!!!!!! all had bit parts in it and they were all funny.
In conclusion, it is worth seeing, especially if you are an Ayn Rand junkie like Mrs Inor and I are. It got the main points of the story across and the theater was pretty full which made me VERY happy.

I have never met anybody that has read Atlas or Fountainhead that did not say it changed their life.
Smitty: You were a public defender. That is what the military is. You defended my family and I am very appreciative for that. In that role, I am pretty sure righted a lot of wrongs done to oppressed people too.
This reminds me of a Marilyn Monroe film: "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes". In Hollywood, blondes sell more films.

It still should be required reading,. But the progressives would have a heart attack... Mmmm.. Maybe that's not a bad thing. 
What I've always laughed about with the book and how in this day and age it mirrors real life, is the names of the programs the governments comes up with. Who thinks of these stupid names!? There was some such stupidly lames program recently and I ripped my senator for voting for it... I also asked him who came up with the stupid name.... Crickets..
