@dafedge2007 And I've read comments just like the one I made earlier. And they were entirely serious.
Replace "Catholics" with "the poor" and I think Swift would be the Rand Institute's next best seller...

@KellyAnnOR You know, Randites are becoming such fundamentalists that it really is hard to tell the difference between their "sincere" beliefs and good honest satire. Next they'll be reading Swift's "A Modest Proposal" as if it were a cook book.

@dafedge2007 Save the rainforest? That is forced altruism. Which is tantamount to slavery! As a human being I have the fundamental right to be selfish, greedy, and care as little about the world I live in as possible. You're just a whining looter if you want to save the environment. Why not make some money instead? Do you have any idea how much work it takes to strip mine an entire ecosystem? The logistics of displacing dozens of native tribes? Now THAT is something to admire

@junsumoney ...so, you know a lot of Randist's putting in time to save rain forests?

An unbelievable cartoon world, really? Maybe you should look at the current state of affairs before you declare the setting of "Atlas Shrugged" a cartoon world.
Good thing "Atlas Shrugged" is a work of fiction, and as such it can have a plot, dialogue, rising action, climax, falling action, you know all of the things which generally make up a good novel.
Nearly unreadable? I guess the immense number of pages might scare some people off - maybe in your case - but luckily not all.
