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

8. She was a writer
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.
