It's a hot topic. I know a number of FReepers who have left or are leaving Seattle for precisely that reason.

The problem is that Galt's Gulch was protected by a holographic projection. But it's hard to hide when the government can penetrate any space in the US.

The problem is that Galt's Gulch...

...is fiction. I try to understand the philosophy of Ayn Rand from the characters and events in the book.

A is A, as fiction is fiction. When the story is taken too literally the message is diminished. Enjoy the story for its entertainment value.

Atlas Shrugged gives the reader a special viewing lens to help deal with the insanity in the world.

I just found a whole bunch of “Flair” buttons (to decorate your page) on Facebook having to do with Atlas Shrugged.
