"ownership" = buying something that government should be providing for free.

I read Atlas Shrugged years ago...quite the book. Just curious... if you have read Shrugged and Fountainhead...you must be well read...
What has been your number one book ...that influenced your life?

She believed in hands-off capitalism. Only the strong survive. The strong need not help the weak. Money, prestige and power are the be-all and end-all of life. She was an athiest and spirituality had no place in her work.
My two-bit interpretation. Others may disagree. She was a fine writer if you can ignore her philosophy while studying it.

| 10. LOL -- Several years ago I had some sweet young thing |

PM me on a different discussion forum and BEG me to read Atlas Shrugged. She was just so sure that it would change my life, not to mention my politics.
I told her was older than dirt, that I'd read it eons ago when *I* was a sweet young thing, and had fortunately grown well beyond it quite rapidly.
