And they made Willers black in the movie version.  That should make for some interesting film interpretation.

I've said before and I'll say again: a Black JOHN GALT would make for an interesting film.

A black Eddie, the character who is like, this well meaning lackey without the Genius of the main characters, this worker who "knows his place". Wow. Bad implications, really.

...And entirely in keeping with this latest brand of "objectivists".  Not all of them, mind you...But let's just say they know their audience.

Believe it or not, I think this movie is going to be a cult sleeper.  We'll have dumbfucks dropping through the roof for 10 years quoting it.

i wouldn't mind actually, Rand is ridiculously easy to argue against (so easy in fact, that you can use her own arguments to do it).  If the teabaggers start actually knowing what she wrote it'll make for some hilarious cognitive dissonance.

I would imagine, Requia, that you find it ridiculously easy to argue against anything.  Including topics you've never heard of.
"Soon all of us will have special names" — Professor Brian O'Blivion

"Now's not the time to get silly, so wear your big boots and jump on the garbage clowns." — Bob Dylan?

"Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)" — Walt Whitman

Point.

But I can dismiss objectivism with 2 questions.

Question #1:  Joe's brakes are bad.  He knows this.  One day, while driving, his bad brakes cause an accident that kills a family of 5.  Is he guilty of at least manslaughter?

QuoteDear Friend of Liberty,

On April 15, the film adaptation of Ayn Rand's classic novel Atlas Shrugged hits over 300 theaters across America. The film, Atlas Shrugged: Part One, celebrates values Tea Party activists hold dear: limited government, free markets and individual liberty.

In the film, the productive members of society or "Atlases" who hold up the world, slowly disappear and thus "shrug" from under the weight of a government that undervalues, suppresses and demonizes individual achievement.

Even though it was written more than 50 years ago, Rand's story shares ominous similarities with our nation today. Government bailouts of failing enterprises, crony capitalists perverting the free market and the skyrocketing price of oil—all newspaper headlines today—are themes ripped right from the pages of Atlas Shrugged.

And while the book and the film are fiction, the message hits home because when we look aro und at our floundering economy and hapless political leaders, one thing is clear: Atlas IS Shrugging.

To show this, we just released a mashup video and quiz showing the parallels between rhetoric used by Democrats today and government bureaucrats in the film. Watch it here and take our quiz:


Atlas Shrugged: Part One has the opportunity to introduce millions more around the world to the philosophy of freedom. Go see this film, and if it's not playing near you, demand that your theater shows At las Shrugged: Part One. If the message of individual liberty in Atlas Shrugged inspires you like it does me, please consider a donation to help us continue spreading this important message across America.


In Liberty,

Kibbe Signature

Did you hear that? Its going to hit nearly a half a thousand theaters!

Well, according to objectivists, then anyone who has bad brakes should be arrested for attempted murder.

How does manslaughter lead to attempted murder?  Or is this some Objectivist thing?
