Atlas Shrugged: A Summary

[zeemike]

48. I have a terrible confession to make.

But I was an impressionable kid of 18 when a right winger gave me the book to read and told me it was great...and sense he was older and I presumed wiser I believed it..and read the whole thing...although I did get tired trying to read John Galt's speech and skimmed through it to get back to the story....but I thought it really meant something and swallowed it whole.
The irony is that I was sitting in the library reading The Fountainhead when the librarian come over to me and said..."they shot the president in Dallas"
And then later one of my right wing mentors said "they finally shot that nigger loving son of a bitch"
That is when it all changed for me...that is when my eyes were open to just what this was all about...these fuckers were sick and I was sick and dumb to ever fall for that shit.

I envy those that could see right through it from the beginning...they had a proper upbringing I guess...and were not nearly as gullible as I was at 18.
