Kudos to Duane Lester the lead writer as he calls himself from the All American Blog..by the way listed on my blog roll to the right center...
He brought to MY attention that the WSJ article linked below mentioned the way our new Central Control style goverment is revisiting "Atlas Shrugged" somehow quite eerily. and what can I say? I had these "visions" that we would be experiencing a shift back a year and a half ago almost. Read the book yourself...it may take awhile..But then you too can watch the scenarios
play out before your eyes...
of course Ms. Rand had that vision way way before I !.......rjf
a quote from another visionary is listed below...
Quote ME!
Power is not a means; it is an end....Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself....The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy - everything.... No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. But in the future there will be no wives and no friends....We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no literature, no science.... There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always - do not forget this, Winston - always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless....If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
