I have, great book, though I have been accused of being more like The Fountainhead's architect Howard Roark for my integrity (read stubbornness)... LOL
However sometimes stubbornness comes from experience and knowing what going to happen..... check some of the posts by ElkGroveDan and his long tail of getting knife in the back over and over and over in the California Republican party.
I've had my own experience both with this click in the party and working in the entertainment industry up in Hollywood and Beverly Hill...(no not Arnold but the type)... add in the truly crooked LA political crowd Arnold ran with...there all part of the same incestuous cocktail party circuit... trust me only the the left of the left alowed... and all wheeler dealers ... for personal power
Atlas is shrugging, why are you frightened?
