How Could Ayn Rand Have Known
I recently started reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It's scary how many things in this book that was published over 50 years ago relate to our current times.

It\'s Not That I Don\'t Suffer
At mile 15 on my run today, I heard one of my three favorite quotes in Atlas Shrugged. Galt says to Dagny, “… it’s not that I don’t suffer, it’s that I know the unimportance of suffering. I know that pain is to be fought and thrown aside, not to be accepted as part of one’s soul and as a permanent scar across one’s view of existence.”

Reinventing Foreign Aid: "Help Us Help Ourselves"
Participants discussed how to improve aid allocation, increase its efficiency and reduce wastage. The goal is to deploy aid better to enhance the prospects for sustainable development, said Robert Klitgaard, Professor of International Development and Security and Dean, The RAND Graduate School, USA. Joaquim Alberto Chissano, President of Mozambique, agreed that the key issue is efficiency. He noted that often while donors and recipients might agree on principles and delivery terms, full implementation of aid programmes are often not smooth or timely. Problems arise sometimes for such simple reasons as the difference between when the fiscal year begins in developing countries and developed ones. The aid community must look at ways to solve problems and improve efficiency so that non performing countries become performing ones.

Practicing Assertiveness
Very early Sunday morning I was waiting in line at Montreal’s airport. Despite the early hour, the airport was crowded and the lines at each of the security points were the longest I had ever seen them. People were patiently waiting; however there was an older gentleman who became quite distressed as he realized he would miss his flight due to the slow movement of the line. He attracted the attention of one of the officials, however they merely shrugged unhelpfully. Then two European men in their mid 30’s went to the aid of the older man, they asked all the people in the queue ahead of him would they mind if he jumped ahead of them to catch his flight. Of course no one minded and the man went quickly through security.
You Could Be One Of The "Wealthy"
The eerily-accurate economic and societal prophecies of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" are coming true all around us, more and more each day. The liberal "statists," patient in their progressive plan to take over America and the global economy through "evolution" instead of "revolution," now have real control of the essential U.S. institutions... and they're coming for your money. But if enough of us resist the temptation to let them "take care" of us, we can keep them from taking control of us.

Don't Shrug Off This Movie!
As a book, Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" stands as one of the greatest works of literature in history. As a movie, "Part I" is pretty good... the performances are at least OK, and the faithfulness to the story is outstanding. But as an event, the release of this movie is nothing short of amazing....
Happy Birthday, Colorado
I think there's a reason Ayn Rand picked Colorado as the fictional last bastion of entrepreneurship in the dark world she described in "Atlas Shrugged." And today, when those who want to ride in the wagon are beginning to overburden those who are willing to pull it, American can take a lesson from the Centennial State. This nation is not about victims, or collectivism, or false socialist ideals. It's about rugged individualism. It's about being willing to start a business, to create opportunities where none existed before, to build wealth through toil and ingenuity....
