Well - If this thread is anything like an eulogy. John Doe must have been one hell of a guy. We’re pushing 7 pages already.

With all the comments making fun of his profession and "expensive" lifestyle, I wouldn't blame him for never coming back.

Rush is right about class envy.

That's good, Bot. I had forgotten about John Galt. Great character. I love Rand's books.

You ever read her semi-autobiographical, "We the Living"? probably her best attempt at literature: a great narrative and interesting character development. I started reading her books in high school and I believe I have read all of her novels and most of her non-fiction. Also several (very severe) criticisms of objectivism. I agree with her politics but not so much her personal ethics -- I realize she would claim they are inseparable which to me, is why we disagree. But that is one woman I'd love to have explored a bottle of scotch with.
