I believe everybody should read Atlas Shrugged, so whenever I speak in public, I promote the book and Ayn Rand's writings. In my writings, ezines and blog, I promote Objectivism at every opportunity. We all benefit from this. Why? Because Atlas WILL shrug. www.DollarMakers.com    Report

I agree with the idea and try to talk about the reasoning behind my own values when I can. What caught my eye in your post was the last sentence. What evidence do you have or know of to suggest that Atlas will shrug? And in what context(s) do you think this will happen? Are you refering to a near or distant future, or leaving that undetermined? Thank you.    Report
