“Stroke of the pen, law of the land, kinda cool.”

Chilling. And this is the first time ever that I have used the word.

Thanks for the education on the Merriam election.

This chapter always makes me think of “Anthem”. When you read “Anthem”, it is easy to say “this is too far... we could never get to this point.”

The “Miracle Metal” chapter shows how it could start.

With the way things are going in DC, I wonder if there is an Atlas Shrugged bookclub on the liberal side... except they are using it as a “how to”.
