Thinking is Permitted at All Times - Without Permission

Bob Grete, RBCS Director, would remind the students that
"Thinking is permitted at all times - without permission"!
In 2010 thinking will be even more important. The agenda
of the elites transfers more and more power - and money -
to the Federal government to be used by their superior
thinking and management skills.
Someone has said that "if we neglect the mistakes of the
past, then we will be condemned to repeat them".
I am reading a biography of Ayn Rand, 1905-1982. Alissa
Rosenbaum was born to Jewish parents in St. Petersburg,
Russia. She was 12 in 1917 when the Czar and his family
were murdered. She experienced every part of the revolution
escaping to the United States in 1925. Her first novel
We The Living describes her life in Russia during the time.
I have not read the book, but it is on my list.
Ayn became the champion of laissez-faire capitalism and
individual achievement and responsibility in the last century.
A study of her journey to that philosophy is important. She
described the The Fountainhead as the story of how a
moral man can live in a corrupt society. Although Ayn is
seldom accused of being moral, her thinking is important to
us today.
