Imagine...

Can you imagine a country where Atlas Shrugged and The Virtue of Selfishness were required reading for all high school students to graduate? Imagine no more liberals...it's easy if you try. Had to end the post on a musical note. Sue me I'm a Beatles fan.

- 2Posted by freedomforall 11 years, 6 months agoImagine, no more 'liberals' pretending to have views of liberty. Everywhere in the world except the US, liberals are for liberty and against things like labor unions. The Democrats stole the tag liberal just like they steal everything produced by liberty.| Mark as read | Best of... | Permalink
- 2Posted by LetsShrug 11 years, 6 months agoThere is an element of society that very much dislikes the idea of having to "fend for themselves"...they want to be taken care of and/or have a generous safety net to fall into if they majorly F -up their life through laziness or bad decision making. I like your idea and wish everybody would read Atlas...but some of them can't handle reading anything but grammatically incorrect text messages.| Mark as read | Best of... | Permalink

- 1Posted by joojie 11 years, 6 months agoWhat I think needs to happen for that to work would be for someone to rewrite atlas, cutting out the romance plotlines as they may be seen as inapropriate, and to generaly make it shorter. another posibility would be for schools to teach extracts of the books.| Mark as read | Best of... | Permalink
- 2Posted by LetsShrug 11 years, 6 months agoNO one should "rewrite" Atlas. It is written exactly as it should be. Who cares if the "romance" was "inappropriate", it was an important part of the story, and finally, the book is an entire journey and pulling out "extracts" won't cut it. (There are no short cuts through a journey worth taking.) I, for one, would not want to experience the Atlas Shrugged journey any other way. If it offends some then so be it..it's not for everyone, as Kaslow has already said. :)| Mark as read | Parent | Best of... | Permalink
