While looking for a book excerpt for the who do you write like thread I stumbled across this

I'm hopefully optomistic they do it justice.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

Interesting, wonder how they'll fit the hole book into a movie. Wasn't there a movie made already? I'm actually currently reading it,  =D On Part 2 Chapter 10
"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

I heard that Angelina Jolie was originally considered for the part of Dagny Taggart . . .

Anyway, filming has wrapped on "Atlas Shrugged, Part 1" . . . forty days of shooting in & around LA with a fifteen million dollar budget. (Wonder how much they would've had to pay Ms. Jolie . . . )

Should be released next year. Waiting for it.
