Ayn Rand

I have recently finished the book, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I have to say that it is the most profound book I have ever read! It reads like a novel based off of our current situation, yet it was written in the 40-50's. Is it that the times she wrote of then has come around again? We have those who produce, they are the ones who make things succeed. Then we have the looters who drain and abuse the ability of the producers. I have been thinking about the book ever since I read it, I have a wish to be a producer and not a looter or anything near that. My next biggest fear is that I will not have enough influence to convince my children to do the harder thing of being a producer. Can I make them aware of those out there that will drain them of their right to success? It is funny how the work of those in the past can still be so relevant.
