Recently, Atlas Shrugged Producer Harmon Kaslow was asked who the movie would appeal to. Following is his response...

"While Ayn Rand’s heroes speak to the individual in all of us, they do not speak for everyone. Ayn Rand’s heroes are men and women from all walks of life - sculptors, musicians, plumbers, steel workers, architects, industrialists - if you enjoy your work and do it well, if you constantly strive to be better, if you work hard every day, you will LOVE Atlas.

However, if you feel a sense of entitlement - as in the government owes you something - simply because you exist, Atlas [Shrugged] is not a story for you. You are whom we are warning against."

-I enjoyed reading this.- James McNally

    This is a place, James, where a man is valued for contributions of his own free will. The cream will rise to the top and so it will in the Gulch, a society of like-minded individuals with emphasis on "individual." We don't always agree on specific issues, but hopefully we are able to place our views within the context of Ayn Rand's vision of the big picture. Welcome, James.

      I usually access the web via my iPad. So I will cruise through the topics to read the main articles and comments. I use the ipad to limit the time I spend doing this. Gets tiring really quickly using the portable device to write comments, etc.

      Lately I have just been researching possibilities for relocating and devising ways to support my family if/when the relocation is to happen. I know, sounds like I'm looking for Galt's Gulch (laughing). But if that's what I'm doing then I guess not much has changed.

      Visited Pahrump, NV twice this year. Most would say there is nothing exciting about that place, but perhaps that is what I like about it. Met a lot of kind people there. Really wouldn't mind living in that community. My efforts right now are focused on visiting as often as possible.

      Thank you for asking.

    Thanks for the welcome. Hopefully I may contribute in the form of topics, point of view, etc. Most of what I find here is exactly what I had in mind though. Which is great. I just have to be careful not to bring up topics/discussions already being posted.
