Are we going to start quoting the book of Supply Side Economics?
Cuz, maybe we'll get it right in another sixty years.

Well Gorpet. I'm not sure if they know you escaped but I won't " rat " you out and I haven't seen you, either. My suggestion is you pull out the Dyna Wide glide and ride like the wind.



Seriously, glad to see you are among us.

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

((The Lord of the Rings isn't actually a novel, but a trilogy)

I like it.


it is amusing when someone first reads the fiction books by Rand and "suddenly" has an epiphany about it.

And the other is reality. Life just depends on how much wealth privilege you have. How do i know i have it. That's why i do not get sucked in to debates. they are for Dreamers. LOL and for Idiot's Talk argue, argue we love it while your doing this we are working for the planet.And of course our lifestyle. 2030 the goal and a thumbs up for Arlo, A Galt i was born and a Galt is what i will be. Up on the stage is how we are.In your face you will never know.
