I hope the person whose economic insults you're planning on replying to aren't mine, because I think you will have a hard time explaining your reactionary, draconian ideas in light of Google going up 7% on Friday and presently trading higher than its drop that so maligned your sense of justice that you wanted to reinstitute fascism and bring us all back into an agrarian economy on par with the economic powerhouse of Zimbabwe.

Incidentally, I enjoyed a bit of wry amusement the other day when I found out a tiny piece of trivia, that Alan Greenspan, who spent four consecutive terms as Chairman of the US Federal Reserve Board and has widely been lauded around the world for his helmsmanship of the US economy - was for 20 years a disciple of Ayn Rand, that his first time in print was to defend "Atlas Shrugged" and articles by him appear in the Ayn Rand book, "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal".

You should buy it.

Although, personally, I would have prefered if she had titled it: "Capitalism: Improving the Lives of People Too Dumb to Understand It for a 100 years".
