I agree, it is frightening. I just finished Atlas Shrugged and being an unabashed capitalist and evil real estate developer, I was both inspired and enraged while reading it. I can see the slow erosion of our freedoms every day and in my business you can really see the tentacles of socialist governmental bodies getting longer and longer. It's like being overtaken by a creeping malignancy.

"I just finished Atlas Shrugged and being an unabashed capitalist and evil real estate developer, I was both inspired and enraged while reading it."

I had the exact same reaction when I read "Atlas Shrugged" a year ago.

I found the antidote to "enraged."

"Restoring the Lost Constitution: A Presumption of Liberty by Professor Randy E. Barnett.

Now that you have the philosophical basis for liberty and freedom from "Atlas Shrugged," you can now learn the constitutional basis from "Restoring the Lost Constitution" to start exerting you protected and written down, locked-in liberties, as I have.

With Professor Barnett's "training" I have successfully stopped local government from taking private property from private property owners without just compensation twice (an historical district designation and a retail only use ordinance)and now am taking on a proposed "smoke-free" ordinace in my county.

I am determined to turn the tide from being a servant of government to the master of government, as it should be.
