Atlas shrugs at the economic mess we are making? Where will the productive members of failed societies go? I think that they will flee from Greece, China and other countries to the USA.
I have great faith in the American people as long as we don't loose sight of what made this country.
Most of Europe is toast with a few exceptions. China has a real potential to implode in violence and bloodshed. The Middle East is also likely to implode in violence and bloodshed.
I set as a goal this summer to re-read Ayn Rand’s *Anthem*, as my beach book. I’m well enough in to it, that the observations made above are ringing in my ears.
“We are one in all and all in one, There are no men but the great WE, One, indivisible and forever”
When Equality 7-2521 finds a light bulb and a cell battery,left over from the “Unmentionable Times”, he brings it to the Council of Vocations and is told “What is not thought by all men cannot be true”and “What is not done collectively cannot be good”. They pointed out that it took twenty men to invent the candle one hundred years before and that is why that invention was good.
Prophetic stuff.
