  1. Claire Danes as Dagny Brad Pitt as John Galt
  2. I posted on some websites before the election that this is what the country needs if this person wins -a kick in the ass Most replies were no no don't say that but here it is, we are going to hit bottom hopefully that won't happen-or hopefully it will now I understand why companies have outsourced to China, Mexico and the philippines etc they were going galt (that expression has been used a lot but it fits)
  3. Thank you Michael, I appreciate the suggestion
  4. what is the least obnoxious free blogging site? Don't want to use blogger if I can help it. Any suggestions? ty
  5. I think I could make some money with my current job if I pushed a little more and faked it, but it is quite unethical-it makes its money off of government programs that pretty much suck and perpetuate mediocrity OTOH that may be the best reason for making as much as I can... btw hi all again-don't worry I wont post much
  6. ty selene and brant-but seriously I didnt read enough of the post to get the gist of it. that is why the apology and it was necessary I doubt I will start posting again-I don't want to read all the clever ways people can call me stupid.
  7. The Discovery of Freedom-RWlane I don't know anymore...what is the point after all is said and done Anyway- I posted this in a chatroom which probably wasn't the right place to put it but the reactions weren't cool-they were like 'too heavy' or 'i don't understand let's move on and hey how are you?" or whatever This is what I wrote sort of; "I am reading a fantastic book that states a person's energy belongs to himself, to use or not use as they see fit-it may cause waste but the innovation trumps the waste for the good of mankind." (I did't post the following but it's what I am taking from the book so far) "If the government tries to funnel the individual's energy to it's own ends, people will ultimately fall into inactivity and squalor because they find their lives unbearable-which starts famine and hunger. While the other approach may waste resources, people wont feed off the waste and perhaps be able to direct the path of their life if they own their energy or at least can decide to where to put their it, perhaps into something they find valuable and also respect"
  8. Obviously I need to read more closely-now that I have done that, your essays have reinforced my idea that Rose Wilder Lane was much much more than just Laura Ingalls' daugher. Thank you. I stand corrected as well-I am impulsive in thought and feeling (surprise surprise). I think I'll trash my jumptoconclusions mat. Again I apologize, and very much appreciate your writings about Rose Wilder Lane. Pippi
  9. What is wrong with that? Better that than a banker or politician, she worked for herself who can say that now? why? do you have proof of that? why? do you proof of that? and? Half a dozen or so? Well done marginalization. You are very clever in your dismissal of Rose Wilder Lane but what influence have you had? RWL made a difference pippi
  10. Rep West: Obama showing third world dictator like arrogance
  11. Who was that again? I don't know but he is big and he is white - maybe Rush Limbaugh? He looks scary tho so run~!
  12. It is so refreshing to see words spelled correctly, excellent and lose (incorrectly spelled as loose) are so slapped around these days. I hope someday they have nice places to take refuge without losing (loosing) their dignity I think Daunce may have a haven for them One can only hope.
  13. Balph Eubank sounds right, Rand was funny with those "Bewitched/early 60s/Dragnet" sounding names-"Tinky" Holloway is another that I thought was funny and "Kip" Chalmers. Seems like the 2nd raters had 2nd rate names. What 2nd rater had a poetic name like Francisco D'Anconia after all?
  14. I don't know about that after seeing this video, I was impressed.
  15. . There I go deleting posts-at least I can spell, I wouldn't get petty about spelling unless someone threw it in my face first
  16. This is a great sentiment Rich , thank you. I interpret it in a good way. There are many ways to set our hearts right, I hope. I don't think Rand would find setting hearts right very objectivist I appreciate your post will write on it again, thank you
  17. that IS poetry and I NEVER meant to discount poetry, it is one of the sugars of life
  18. I saw many people in the status of posting here but no one did.
  19. I admire the fact that you all admire each others witty and sometimes quite beautiful posts but what exactly is the point?
  20. I think this whole thing is sad (edited to add the frowny face-It is appropriate imho)
  21. The book group started today-one chapter a week is the format, so right now it is - Chapter I The Theme. See my signature for the forum info. TY again Michael for letting me post here.
