Ayn Rand

my dad got really interested in Ayn Rand in 2019. he read Atlas Shrugged and just couldn’t stop talking about it.

i have not read it, but i am generally aware that i don’t agree with it. my husband is better educated on the topic, but i didn’t feel like i could let him carry all the weight in the conversation with my dad…

me to dad:

you were saying you want to talk about that book and we’ll get to on friday! R is better educated on this book than i am, but i found some links that i thought were really interesting:

love you! see you soon!! <3

dad to me:

Thanks honey.  I’ll look these over.  I have no doubt they will make good points.

he didn’t, and we didn’t get to have a talk about it then because my mom didn’t want anyone to “be political”. but we might get a chance in the future, so i want to save these links.
