KP,

I guess it should be noted that it looks like "Atlas Shrugged" will finally be made into a movie. Here's a link for the latest news article.

Thanks for the link, and helping me get the word out. In times like these, it's more important than ever that we pick up the slack for the irresponsible mainstream media and try to spread the truth to the American people.

I tend to find that both the right and left (and those outside of the tired 2-dimentional scale) offer some great point of views. Hopefully the more people read all the different takes on the issues, the more likely people will start thinking outside of the two-party dominated system.

Keep up the good work Len. Hopefully you are seeing more traffic as a result. :)

Thank you again for picking up my post. I hope your readers are enjoying them.

I know I enjoy reading the varied opinions you feature from both the right and left. Well, actually, sometimes I get a bit perplexed at the leftist point of view, but it's always good to get the other perspective. I think. :-)
