Since this group is oriented toward comparing AS to current events, I'd like to make an observation without getting into the details of the chapter just yet.

I decided that the evening of President Obamas speech would be wasteful of my time so I decided to sit down and read this chapter with no distractions. The next day, as I was listening to the reviews of the Presidents speech, I thought that they might as well be reviewing the chapter that I had read the previous night. The words weren't exact but the gist of the news was about the dystopian society presented in Atlas Shrugged.

How many times can it be said that a person was able to read about history as it is happening?

"How many times can it be said that a person was able to read about history as it is happening?"

I had to put the book down many times because of just that.

I've actually started using a lot of the terms from that book in my "normal day" speak. It fits so well.

Excellent point - we read AS and reoild in horror, the other side loudly proclaims, “Aha! The instruction manual!”
