Munk I read your reply more times than I can count on one hand. It's as if you Read a different version of Atlas Shrugged than I did.
Your reference to materialistic views thoughout your reply was Not the Subject of the book. I credit the book for my being able to Retire @ age 50, however I was always an "ever excel" person from birth :wub:
I wish you a Life as Rich as mine my Friend.
Fair enough my friend:)
As for the materialism, it was a big focus in the discussions we partook in. Perhaps it was taking Rand in more of a historical context, since she very much countered the socialist ideals in a time when communism was 'spreading'.
After a bit of poking around on the interwebs, I found the wikipedia entry on Ayn Rand repeats a few of the things I said - glad I'm not completely crazy!
Cheers,
Munk
