Hello I am somewhat new to The Gulch. I signed up years ago, I've read the articles and comments but never joined the conversation. Now I figured it is about time. I first read AS around 2004 or so and have read it once more since then. I was blown away by how prophetic Ayn Rand was. Atlas Shrugged really opened my eyes as to why the looters are the way they are. I never could figure out what makes those type of people tick. From there my I delved into Rand'so philosophy and have since read and watched The Fountainhead and We The Living (Best title ever). I live in Tampa, FL and the flight in was rocky haha.
