Most of all, Mr. Trump is an agent of total disruption, bordering on chaos — everything American voters would like to see set upon Washington.

When it comes to the media he has a point. It's about time somebody slapped them back.

Some idiot on twitter quoted "From chaos comes order" at me this morning.

Well Nietzsche was an idiot and the order that arises from chaos is bad pretty much every single time.

Trump makes Mr. Thompson look presidential. John Galt would have had a field day with Twitter.  lol

OTOH, Francisco's message on the clock could be considered as the First Tweet!

Yep, that's less than 140 characters.

Yeah, but it would have taken him all year to tweet that interminable speech.  And years of surgery and physical therapy for his thumbs, thereafter.

Try listening to the speech, far better than reading it. I know, it's 3 hours, but the last hour is inspiring when properly read. I've found a great audio book of AS, all 63 hours (great for long walks). The performer is able to give main characters a distinctive voice.

And the final conversation between James Taggart and Cherryl is absolutely bone chilling.

Yeah, well ....  I kinda gave up on Ayn Rand when I realized that her philosophy couldn't withstand the moral demands of parenthood.

From elementary through high school, one of my classmates was named, "Joseph Weldon Bailey Kennedy, Jr."  Because I was around him all those years, I never forgot his long name.
