• The end is near?

  
  Heavy Lifting — Authority: 123
  I dont remember reading about the end of the Eggo in Ayn Rands Atlas Shrugged, but the lack of Eggos on the shelf, and the weak explanations for their absence, has a weird feeling associated with it.Maybe it is all falling apart.

  The United States has had a perverted perspective on Ayn Rand’s epic characters. They have been explained as capitalist heroes whose selfish pursuits reached the level of nobility.

  Apparently Angelina Jolie is set to star as Dagny Taggart. I think I can live with that. :) This project has been talked about for a long time. I hope it happens and I hope they do it right as this will be a very difficult adaptation to film. Atlas Shrugged The Fountainhead
