Grotesquely it's an admission of how much they fear Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged and Objectivism. I wonder how any of these books stand up to AS in sales?

Grrrrrr.
can you truly tell me you're surprised? I'm not. but I think it deserves a letter-writing campaign which I wish I had the time to orchestrate. we'll see.

I just posted the release date in the comments section. I think the omission was intentional.

Tried commenting, won't post.

That speaks volumes about USA Today.

OK, first you have to admit the problem. I'm boycotting Farcebook, I am not a twit, and I've been out my whole life.
This has been fine with me until I want to just unload a whole Senate Committee [remember, swear by bad stuff?] on USA Today, and I can't figure out how to do it.
I see the all the tiny icons, in several places, but nothing happens when I click, double-click, enter, type in "you belong on a senate committee", zip.
Would someone who actually knows how to respond to this USAT's drivel please instruct me?
many thanks in advance! :0

All the news that fits the agenda. Oh, wait a second, this is USA Today, not the NY Slimes. What's the difference?

The message in Atlas Shrugged is unwelcome in the world, always has been and it looks it always will be. I first read AS almost 10 years after it was published and could no believe that since its publication conditions had only gotten worse. I asked people that I thought were a lot smarter than me, how this could be and they dismissed AS with the same arguments you hear today. Like Obama said, it was a exciting book for you to read as a teenager but then you grow up and become a responsible adult.
When the three part movie was announced I was very excited because I thought once the 1100 page tome was done as three 90 minute Hollywood adaptations it would cause a revolution. Now, approaching 60 years of exposure to the light of day there is little evidence that reason will triumph over ridicule. More discussion groups, more intellectual debate, more societies only results in a handful of converts. I watch Yaron Brook's lectures and he brilliantly presents Ayn Rand's philosophy and takes on all comers with solid arguments. Looking at the faces in the audience, I see some believers but I also see dismissive smirks.
"We the Believing" anxiously await a multipart mini-series but I fear the multitudes will only see actors reading lines that they think represent old fashioned, disproved theories.

I wrote in the comments and tweeted the article's author suggesting it would be a good film to write about. https://twitter.com/cgervasi/status/5069...
