Book Update

I was able to take advantage of the long weekend and finish Atlas Shrugged and Barry Goldwater's Conscience of a Conservative.

I am currently reading the last of Ayn Rand's fiction,We the Living, and will write about each of her four books, when I finish.

Quote of the Week

The first thing (a conservative) has learned is that each member of a species is a unique creature. Man's most sacred possession is his individual soul -- which has an immortal side, but also a mortal one. The mortal side establishes his absolute differentness from every other human being.Only a Philosophy that takes into account the differences between men, and, accordingly, makes provision for developing the different potentialities of each man can claim to be in accord with nature. We have heard much in time about the "common man." It pays little attention to the history of a nation that grew great through the initiative and ambition of uncommon men. The conservative knows that to regard man as part of an undifferentiated mass is to consign him to ultimate slavery.
