    Fred, If the comment is directly under your comment, it is intended for you. Here, we call that a "thread." and you receive an email!
    Think of it like an outline. I. A. 1. a. b. c. The indenting is partially your guide. IF the conversation gets long, that is more difficult. However, my responses fit the format given. If you would like me to always say whom I'm responding to-well, that's not going to happen. I am in waaayyyy too many conversations in this site. But I do understand that sometimes it can be confusing.

    Re: khalling,

    "Someone needs a nap."

    If that was directed at me, then once again, clarification is needed. When commenting on someones posting, it would be helpful if reference is made as to whom you're addressing with your comments. These communications are not private where a back and forth is confined to two people and things are clear.

    I often see commentary that seems to be out of sync because there are no references made.

    I am attending the Revolution Dinner. I am very curious about Stossel after reading kh's remarks. Must do a bit of research before I go off to Chicago...

    Thank You! I saw CBJ and guessed that it might be the connection, but no other member appeared to be TAS, so I was hung up. ARI was already in my lingo. Thanks Again!!! -- j

    John, TAS is The Atlas Society. CBJ is a producer on this site who has commented on this post. ARI is The Ayn Rand Institute

    I am one that has discovered from the audiobooks and movies that I am not alone on the path. As I have always been a slow reader, I am a late arrival. Technology has enabled me to start catching up.

    I would think that the fact that more and more of the circumstances that AR portrayed in AS are becoming more and more "real", and thus more people are becoming aware of those "predictions" is helping a lot.

    I aim to please here, fred.
    1. I P stands for intellectual proprty including patents. CBJ directs you to a puff piece by Stossel full of disinformation asserting we are overwhelmed with ideas getting patented that should not be. I have written on this before and called out Stossel among others.
    2. Screen rights to make the movies went to Peikoff personally, as heir to Rand 's estate.

    3. ARI has not made one public statement about the movies, nor do they promote them.
    4. Not one single acknowledgement from the Institute that book sales have increased or traffic to their site etc. Since the release of the movies.
    5. On the other hand, TAS has been highly supportive and collaborative. They promote the films because they know the movies have exposed thousands to Atlas Shrugged and the philosophy of Objectivism.

    Re: khalling,

    Would it be asking too much if you actually wrote a clear and definitive paragraph as opposed to making obscure references to why you're "pissed at John Stossel over his position on IP. What is IP? As to your further statement about "Peikoff" raking in royalties, I'm pretty sure that any royalties go to the Ayn Rand Institute. Furthermore, what is your comment regarding the book sales supposed to mean? do you object to Atlas Shrugged having gained sales because of the movies or what?

    I really thought that your writing ability could be a little clearer in making your point. I'm truly disappointed, not about agreeing or disagreeing with you, but for your bad writing.

    Both GW Bush and Obama deserve credit for their non-accomplishments like increasing AS book sales, as well as for their abject failures. LOL

    Not at all. Keep up the good work. I love these. I'm waiting for Marx and Hitler's Who is John Galt. The north korean despot and al Quaida- that last one at your own peril

    This article is full of so much dis-information I cannot even start on it. He is an investigative journalist. He was disingenuous -He supports the von Mises attitude that patents are not property rights.
