And you, of course, are the supreme judge of everything.

I've read Atlas Shrugged probably six times by now. It's an incredibly great novel by a woman of remarkable perception. Just the idea of writing about an "Equalization of Opportunity Bill" and an "Anti-Dog-Eat-Dog Bill" in the 50's is amazing to me. The book is sufficiently complex that I notice something new each time I go back to it. Maybe it overwhelmed you?

It amazes me how many people on FreeRepublic are so enchanted by the pop-philosophy of Rand.
