    Remember that as part of his filibuster Rand Paul read to them out of the book? He stood there with the hardback copy, with the dust jacket on it, so they'd know what they were hearing, and read for I don't know how long.
    and yeah, they blanked out.

    Unfortunately, you are right. But sometimes it's nice to live in fantasy land for a little while.

    Because our soldiers paid that price, we have the freedom to have Galt's Gulch!

    If only wishing would make it true. And AS should be required reading for our representatives and senators.

    Sept 2 is an auspicious day, always to be remembered. Not only for the several key incidents on that day in Atlas Shrugged, but also it is the day that Japan officially surrendered to end WWII. My family would ALWAYS have cake and ice cream on that day. They would also give me presents...did I mention that it is also my birthday?

    Wow, if only that could be made to happen. Actually, I'd be happy if it would show up on all the computer screens of those in the congress and in the senate.

    September 2, 2015 is also the 70th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty that formally ended World War II, on board the USS Missouri, then anchored in Tokyo Bay.

    Happy AS day to all. How great is it to have a forum filled with like-minded individuals? I love it as an escape from the mindless hordes I encounter everyday.

    If only there was a way to get that to come up on every computer screen in the world simultaneously...
