I always imagined Harrison Ford as Rearden. He does a good businessman.
I understand that you disagree with freedom.
Um, what makes you think Rand would oppose private charity, or that such charity would not be given?
Portfolio?
You mean social security isn't enough...:)
A mix, conservative investments and some speculative maybe 60/40 with a bit in precious metals to hedge against the dollar being debased...
Jolie would be better suited as Lillian Reardon.
I don't remember her addressing that in her book. Forgive me if I am wrong.
"I didn't see Vanity Fair...I personally wouldn't like her as a schemer...how about Heather Graham or something? Leave my Reese alone! LoL"
See "Vanity Fair" and your image of your sweet little Reese will be shattered. Personally I think she did a very good job in the role given the script and it's "re-working" of the orignal. It was a move I both liked and hated at the same time but NTL, she was very good in the role IMHO.
Heather Graham - Pleeze! She's not half the actress Ms. Witherspoon is.
Point taken. I still say she was a bit cold-blooded for my taste. Cheers.
Thank you and very well said.
True heartfelt, compassion comes from within and cannot be mandated by any institution and certainly not by government. When government is in the compulsory compassion business, it becomes more akin to Marxism From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.
ROTFLMAO!
Now for bad Hemingway..........
That may not be the worst attempt at satire ever, but it's certainly up there.
Padre never heard of Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments. Or just about any other elaboration on the subject.
"I'm a "cult follower" of STREETS OF FIRE especially the score of Ry Cooder. Great action. Great CARS. Great music."
I loved it. You never see it on cable.
It's a theme throughout Rand's writing. Rand once issued a collection of essays under the title "The Virtue of Selfishness".

Well I know that! She doesn't have to be little sweet Reese. I dug her a lot in that movie Freeway. She was far from a little sweet nice girl in that one. But she was totally cool and badass and you rooted for her anyway.
Edward Norton surprised me in The Illusionist.
Rush Limbaugh ;-P
Cheers!
"Padre never heard of Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments. Or just about any other elaboration on the subject."
I've read parts of that book... it's as compelling as the "Wealth of Nations". It's to morality what "Wealth..." is to economics.
Pretty smart guy that Adam Smith!! Yet, that loser Karl Marx gets all the good press.
