My car was broken into while I shopping tonight. Nothing was taken except one book. My copy of Atlas Shrugged. Seriously. That is all they took. I hope they read it and then feel really really bad.

Can't you for one fucking minute enjoy the irony of the situation? That's worth the price of the book alone.

I am enjoying the irony of it very much. But then I remember that I need to pay $200 to get it fixed.

True story: one day last year, when out of toilet paper, I wiped my ass with pages I tore out of my copy of Atlas Shrugged. It was a 60s or 70s printing so the paper wasn't all that rough.

Not at all.

Objectivism = influential on the best game of 07.

Nazis = also massively influential on video games in general (I was originally going to use CoD as an example before I realized the massive gift Nazis have given gamers via their influence over many games over the past 2 decades).

Politically speaking, Republicans are probably closer to Nazis than Objectivists.

If that's a major plot point, I don't recall it. Also, banning drugs is a sort of Republican thing, thus making it relatively closer to objectivism than any of the alternatives.

If you're thinking of Fontaine's role as a major player, the only thing that was banned was surface contact, a law Fontaine broke to create a black market.

Political and economic theories aside, I found Rand's views on sexuality to be pretty fucking stupid. They basically boil down to "you can love someone who shares your views and fuck the shit out of them until someone better comes along." So society would be a hyper-competitive, musical chairs-esque world of people always looking to upgrade. What happens to women when they inevitably fall off a cliff at some point between age 30-45? Is John Galt going to ditch Dagny after she gets crow's-feet the same way that she ditched Hank Rearden? It's all so confusing.

Ayn Rand is one of those extremely stupid smart people -- like, the anti-semetic Bobby Fischer, insane Kazinksi's, socially tactless math wizards, and other oblivious savant-oddities. She inspires those that are mostly cut from a similar fiber. Her literature is self-absorbed, wholly aimless, and myopic tripe. Yuppy-bible bullshit.
