Black Friday

I don't want to continue to beat a dead horse, but just as I expected the market is continuing to get worse by the day. Each day seems to be bringing us closer to economic collapse and increasing levels of socialism. I want to be wrong, but I am starting to think we may actually be at the beginning stages of a real life version of the events of Atlas Shrugged. This is somewhat of a cliche' among Objectivists, but it really seems to be happening. What we need to do is increase our level of activism of the right ideas at this time. But I am annoyed that there is only so much I can actually do because of my limited writing skills. But it is what it is, and I can only do what I can do.

I suggest you read or listen to "Conservatism, an Obituary" if you haven't already. It maps on quite well to what's happening now.

I still find it amazing how similar the events in Atlas Shrugged seem to match those in reality; but then again, this is a philosophy based on reason ;-).
