As you know, there conspiracy theories discussing Ms. Rand being the baroness of Phillippe Rothschild and being commissioned to write Atlas Shrugged. One wouldn't think this has much credibility; however, when you think about the nature of the direction leaders continue to push society in terms of culture and government enslavement thereof, you begin to wonder if there is any truth to such a conspiracy. The other side is "why" would the secret society elites have her write such a novel, unless it is a secret roadmap to those who would pick up the idea of "shrugging" and run with it. I am not sure, but I can tell you that often when something quacks and walks like a duck....well...you know the answer.

Just some thoughts and I wanted to get yours. I don't think I have seen this discussed here in the Gulch.
