Bang Bang
I did find Atlas Shrugged to be an entertaining book, but found several of
her ideas to be way out in left field. The Objectivist ideas on property
rights, however, ring true for me. Either we are a society which foremost
respects the individual, or we are a society which holds the welfare of
the populace as a higher priority. In our society, this is mixing the
concepts of Republic and Democracy… ultimately, the Republic will lose
out to 'tyranny by the masses'.
Incidentally, I am not an Objectivist. If anything, I'm a (responsible)
hedonistic Individualist. I like to have fun at my own expense – and like
to share if and when I please.
