From the Adaptive Curmudgeon:
When you encounter one of Ayn Rand’s minions mention that you’ve read Atlas Shrugged. They’ll glow with joy. Then quickly say something like “but with the certainty of global warming we’re just going to have to accept more regulations for the sake of the planet”. Have a camera ready for the reaction! A six hour rant will ensue. Every now and then interject “but it’s for the environment”, “if it saves just one life it’s worth it”, or “we just need better leaders”.
That’s . . . that’s just . . . it’s evil, that’s what it is! And inspired! And hysterical!

Does reading Atlas Shrugged make one a minion? I have read it and one lesson I took from it was regulations and subsidies to poorly run companies (GM and Chrysler anyone?)will destroy inovation and a prosperous society just like it is currently doing here in the United States.
SO WHY IS THIS SUCH A GREAT QUOTE?
Bill,
Because if it saves even one child, it has proven its worth!
