Just checking in. I'm not much for social media, so I don't know how often I'll be checking back.
I read Atlas Shrugged the first time in 1968 or '69, IIRC. My anger at Reardon's family's behavior was instant and deep. I did not think that society could possibly develop to the point that it subsequently has. Subsidy has become entitlement. Feelings are openly vaunted as primary concerns. Off topic, but perhaps related: we then were afraid of 1984; since then we have built it -- not just the government, but we, individually and collectively, have built the surveillance infrastructure. (Social media, anyone?)
