Happy 50!

Well, seems my favorite book is celebrating its 50th anniversary. I had no idea it was read by so many. Blue lady read the book and accused Rand of proselytizing. I believe her views may be an effort to proselytize, but not a fictional novel. Perhaps it's easier to accuse her of that in an effort to deny a point that slaps you upside the head. Not liking the obvious point being made is difficult when you disagree with it. Hers is pretty simple, capitalism is still the best form of government if you enjoy the freedoms you were lucky enough to be born with. Only when they're taken away do you miss them.
