I’m not sure if this is an “I’m Spartacus!” moment or an opportunity for the Dr. Floyd Ferris quote from “Atlas Shrugged”.
For me, the answer is easy: such a cynical use of law could only originate in the mind of a character like Dr. Ferris.
BTW, I have one of the Project F binders used in AS III. My wife and kids think I'm crazy for buying it and another item from the producers...maybe I am, but I really don't care.
O/T, I heartily recommend the audio book version of AS. It brings to life many memorable passages within the novel. The treatment of Cherryl Taggart by her husband is chilling.
