* Francisco dAnconia
The wealthy and accomplished Francisco is a profoundly intelligent and highly successful man whose whole life is a paradox. He was the first man to join Galts strike and serves as its recruiter, living in two worlds as he tries to bring others over to the strikers side. Although he is a brilliant businessman, he deliberately destroys dAnconia Copper and brings down the fortunes of many others with it. And although he has only ever loved Dagny, he plays the part of a promiscuous playboy as a cover for his real activities. He is enthusiastic and benevolent, although much of his strike-related activities cause others, especially Dagny and Rearden, to feel he is mocking and untrustworthy. Francisco has a profound effect on Rearden, whom he genuinely loves, even while knowing Rearden is Dagnys lover. He serves as Reardens protector, arming him with the moral certainty he needs to battle the looters. He seems to appear at Reardens side when he is needed most, and saves his life in the mill riots.
Franciscos commitment to the strike is absolute, but he suffers a great deal for it. First, he must give up Dagny and allow her to view him as depraved and worthless. Later, he must endure Reardens hatred as well, when he is forced to betray him in a copper deal. And he must continually work to destroy the company his family built for generations. But the suffering is worth the price for him, because he is sure that he is right. Eventually, Dagny and Rearden come to understand and admire him, and the strike he devotes his life to works as planned.
ACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!! Excuse me while I choke up a hairball!
No... Not really.
This is hugh and series.
A woman of our times.
Maybe this year, she will get some underpants as a birthday present. Poor girl never seems to have any.
Happy Birthday Ho!
Let's see if you get as many replies or views as the thread on Anna K's birthday.
If she is, she's doing it without the knowledge of the rest of us who have dissapeared.
BFD.
SORRY, I left this out of my last post:
p
24. Is that her age or the number of sex partners last week?
And this is of importance WHY?
And we should care because...?
Actor - really? what's she been in other than her home porn movie? Oh, and also in this opus
, Writer - really? What's she had published?,
Musician - really? Name one tune she has written,
Model - Okay, I'll give her this one. Her face is on the magazine covers all the time...same pose, same look
I just don't understand the attraction of this woman...other than her money
"Paging John F'n Kerry"
Once Theresa wakes up and dumps Kerry and invokes their pre-nup, F'n will be looking for another rich babe to sponge off'a!
Who cares...rich white trash.
I like my wimmen with a little more meat on their bones and more brains than a Maine lobster. Paris has neither.
