“In times like these, when their fat little comforts are threatened, you may be sure that science is the first thing men will sacrifice.”

I know things about this that almost nobody knows. I've seen some of the information that was thrown in the trash that day. I wish I knew nothing about any of it...

That quote, more than any other from Atlas Shrugged, has stuck with me as a reminder - an explanation. And, I sincerely hope that the children in your lives are healthy and happy.

    Don't worry, they'll pretend to do science by having a couple of token "women in stem" showing up their bottle bond hair and manicured hands on TV, right between Oprah and some soap opera.

    You pointed to something that my US congressman did well. He is not an Objectivist, but definitely embodies Objectivism's economic values.
