re: #273 Buck

Promoted the author? You sure? Without ever saying her name, he promoted an author… Heralded her work. Did you really get the impression that she was his new favorite author?

This is what I am talking about.

You know Buck, I’m in the middle of reading this great novel called “Atlas Shrugged,” about how the government wants to destroy all successful private business and replace it with collectivism. That the government are a bunch of greedy bastards and parasites, who want to take away the wealth and innovation of hard-working businesses and give it out to the “poor,” following Marx’s belief of “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” Only all the smart business owners leading a silent “strike” by abandoning their companies and disappearing to this small town out in the West.

Who’s the author? Does it matter, this is a great book and it speaks to what’s wrong with this country right now. I’m not recommending you go out and buy it right now, I’m just discussing it.
