Agreed.

I thought it was a mistake to cast a black in the role of Eddie Willers; given his complete subordination to Dagny, it tended to portray an "Uncle Tom" stereotype. They could have put blacks in as more important characters; for instance, Ellis Wyatt, Ken Danagger, etc.

I am afraid that I don't have time to watch all of this clip because of the time restrictions in this library. (Also I have to apply for a job). But I saw the movie, and, although it didn't begin to do justice to the book, it really was fun seeing these scenes again.

I think in our democracy evil will win out. More than 50% want free goodies

There is bill o’reilly available through an app, and BlazeTV. Both are pretty good

Reagan was called the "Teflon president" but he is not even close to what Trump can and able to do.

I admire his stamina and mind. He is causing tremendous pain to the left which makes them become more and more outraged and hysterical to the level that it should kill them in the end.

Thanks Nick, I'll try that.

Thanks term2.

I am aware of how to search but I thought there were channels like FOX that you can reach only through YT.

Thanks for the info.

They will also list the channels which most of them have and you can subscribe to them, that means they will load onto your home page when you log in.

Actually, you can enter into the search criteria things like "conservative", "freedom", Ben Shapiro, Bill O'reilly, Dinesh D'Souza, and terms like that. Then Youtube suggests a continuing batch of videos that relate to that.

How do you get that on YouTube? You search by name or is there a show to tune to?

Tucker puts on a littany of collectivist pundits. Its hard to listen to that crap, even though Tucker argues with them. They DO get air time though, which bothers me.

YouTube has more interesting people like Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Jordan Peterson,Bill O'reilly and others. Life is too short to listen to drivel from the left

I think one of the most elementary and captivating elements in AS consisted of the 12 or so pages where the tramp, Jeff Allen, meets Dagny and shares the story of the 20th Century Motor Company. It is so clearly written -- anyone can understand it -- right down to someone that is not yet an adult, but is working toward becoming one.

That part of the book explains so clearly how Socialism must always lead to failure -- how good intentions mean nothing when the results of their application are not taken into judgment.

I find that I can read that small bit of the book as a standalone condemnation of collectivism.

Francisco's Money Speech is also very good. I think the concern, however, is that it can be too abstract for many people. As I like to say "Money is the single most important and least understood invention of all time."

You are correct on the "eye candy air head women" at FOX.

Mercifully Kelly is gone (she is gone from NBC as well; some say she'll return to FOX; if they want to lose the remaining audience).

But they managed to find several others like Martha McCallum who is difficult to tolerate even for 5 min. Beats me who is willing to sit through her hour long crap?

For a while I tuned to Tucker but he must be getting his cues from top management who want him to put the left on air. Recently he resurrected Austan Goolsbee, the Hussein apologist and "economist", justifying the 2% growth under Hussein. He was the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers under Hussein, so it is not difficult to fathom where he stands and what he has to say. I don't listen to his show but Tucker seems to be happy with him putting him on regularly now.

Trump is as close to an effective third party as I have seen. There arent enough Trumps to go around though.

You are correct. Trump is not a Republican. He is a businessman who knows how to run things.

A fresh air after the incompetency of the Husseins and Bushes.

I agree 200%. I am tired of being emotionally manipulated by arguments for children and schools, while everything the government does for both of those things fails miserably.

My interest in the next generation has waned substantially in the last 10 years. People have too many children they dont really care about and teach. The country is going to change towards heavy duty collectivism, and it makes me just want to "go galt" and stop working so hard. I want to spend everything I make while alive and leave nothing for the next generation.

Our two parties are marketing organizations, not philosophically based. They sit there and decide what they are going to promote to get 50.1% of the vote. Once in, they pander to their base. Trump came in and just hijacked the system and won presidency. The republican party didnt support him really, but they hooked onto his coat-tails in order to not get totally wiped out by the Dems. In 2018, the republican weakness became apparent again.

2016, people voted for TRUMP, not the republicans. In 2018, it was republican hacks vs democrat hacks, and they didnt offer enough goodies to the masses. In 2020 it will be a vote for Trump again, but the dems will at least take over part if not all of the congress. Trumps best slogan is "Promises Made...Promised Kept"

Atlas Shrugged should be required reading in High School and college!

Oregon is pushing 2 Billion in new taxes under all kinds of fake labels, mainly "for the children". My position is the hell with the children, I have given enough for them. Now it's my turn. Maybe a futile battle, but it is what it is...

Think about it, I was furious the Republicrats could ot find any sane people to run against some of the clowns that got elected with no opposition ( or in Occasio Cortezs, flawed opposition) and then realized Trump and Q WANTED a few of these nutjobs there to scream and yell their socialist fury so the sheeple might wake up to what their REAL agenda is. They recognized that they would take the house illegally with voter fraud, and will be pursuing it soon, but I think right now they mean it when they say "get the popcorn and enjoy the show".

That bothers me a lot. Every time I turn around, there is a tax on pretty much anything I do- and it feeds the beast. Let the beast stave instead.
Sales tax, income tax, property tax, excise taxes, hotel taxes, utility tax, etc. etc. etc.

Basically I have abandoned FOX. I got tired of the eye candy airhead women they put there to make up for Bill O'Reilly's oustiing. I got tired of the constant airing of leftist views by "pundits" they dredge out of the bay.

With YouTube, I can pick and choose what I expect to learn from, not the tired collectivist drivel we are fed today. I pretty much know everything they are going to say at this point so it does nothing for me to waste time listening to it.

I think if Trump has a chance in 2020, it will be because of the stupid socialist woman in NYC, Warren, Beto O'Rourke, Sanders, and the rest of the wild eyed socialists. I dont think people are really up to paying for all that stuff. They have seen the cost increases of Obamacare, and god only knows what would happen with medicaid for everyone ( they say medicare for all, but they MEAN medicaid for all)

Rand told me that his fate was left up to the reader.

I think she enjoyed creating scenes where the reader had to check his own premises. The ending of Night of January 16th is an example.

Well, what do you think happened to him after laying on the dead tracks, with nobody to help him?
