    Jeff Ashton: Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony

    My thoughts on Atlas Shrugged

    More of my thoughts on this: To me, instead of standing up that night at the meeting and teaching them a lesson, he set out to really teach them a lesson. To me, instead of Galt killing, he found a creative way to get them to die. He clearly wanted to bring death and destruction...

    My thoughts on Atlas Shrugged

    For those that read Atlas Shrugged, In Galts speech, he specifically speaks at one point to "those who desire to live" (stating on p.1166) "withdraw your sanction" "go on strike - in the manner I did" and "let them drown; your sanction is their only life belt." and "when the advocates of...

    Free Market Revolution

    I fail to see any humor at all in it, certainly not enough to roll on the floor laughing about it. What is so funny to you to about this? Were you at all able to hear anything he said, or allegedly was yelling about? Or what others said or did there?

    Ayn Rand: Anthem

    Her book We The Living deals with communist Russia, and you can see the effect it has on the characters within it. My favorite main female characters of Rands is Kira Argounova, who is in it. Are you planing to read more of her writing? Like Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead, or any of her...
