If Rand had written Atlas Shrugged as a dystopic novel from a marxist perspective with the same style and characters it would be required reading for high school seniors across America, there would be countless pages of gibberish postmodern deconstruction of it in academic journals, and liberal feminists would praise Dagny Taggart as being some watershed "strong" female protagonist. Fact. :nod:

Looking to any work of fiction as some kind of prophetic Bible when it comes to governments is like taking Mary Shelly as some kind of authority on science and bioethics. And it's not something that only conservatives do.
Dude,

You do it well, and that is meant as a compliment from one who appreciates extemporaneous bullshit of high quality and recognizes how difficult it is to do well.... I too have had young Pwns on my radar as an up-and-comer about ready to step out front and announce his arrival to this pantheon of bullshitters....
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.
