Default Ayn Rand's Utopia


That Utopia is almost upon us. Ayn Rand's vision does not include helping ordinary citizens, only the Industrialists. The sad truth is that the shape of our current infrastructure is a true vision of what her Atlas Shurgged utopia would have looked like had she moved the novel beyond the marriage in Somewhere, Colorado, and gotten down to the serious business of actually revealing the development of her new society.

The (Ayn Rand Institute (ARI) is alive and well in NYC - creating young followers, providing classes on her philosophy, and passing out her writings to Republicans and other like-minded law makers. ARI is not creating any jobs or coming up with ideas to create a stable and caring social order. They are too busy being 'rationally selfish' and letting the infrastructure crumble on all levels.

Her philosophy appeals to those who don't really understand how a social order needs to work in order to be strong and lasting; it appeals to those who, like teenagers who balk when their first paycheck is less than they expected because of those pesky taxes, believe they should keep every cent they worked for! Anyway, look for Who is John Galt in the movie theaters sometime this year

Ordinary citizens are able to help themselves.

ARI is not creating any jobs ...


Neither is the 0bama administration.

Are you a capitalist?

Oh, come on, now! There's millions of shovel ready jobs that he
created, like Solyndra and the Keystone pipeline. And he's done so
much for coal miners.


The Keystone is a Good Thing that 0bama is against, actually.

Also, notice how few women coal miners there are!

In the case of my great-grandfather it was about eight tons per day

I'd estimate about one-fifth of a ton combined, at most.
