I made it halfway through Atlas Shrugged and then moved on. It was interesting and perhaps i shall finish it one day.Mr. P. The one thing of which I am positive is that there is much of which to be negative - Mr. P.I came to get down, I came to get down. So get out ya seat and jump around - House of Pain
