- Agreed.
-
- I'm amazed that the film is going to be made. I didn't catch
- anyone mention whether Peikoff or other Objectivists will have control

- ending of the film to make altruism/colectivism work out... :^]

- Sample script:
-
- JAMES TAGGART:
- "Economic Dictator Galt! Your three year plan has brought
- prosperity to our country!"
-
- JOHN GALT:
- "Arrrgh! I was wrong!" (thumping his head on his desk
- over and over and over)
-
-
- :^) :^) :^)
-
- Okay, so it wouldn't be all THAT amusing.
