I'm very happy to have landed in the Gulch... I have been enjoying the website for a while now. I found it while searching for more info on the 2nd and 3rd Atlas Shrugged Movies, prior to their release. I see way too many parallels between the book and movies versus the present situation in the US. While I hope to see improvements in the economy and how the government respects individual freedom, human history tells me not to get my hopes up too much. At any rate, it's good to participate in the variety of discussions of the Gulch with others who share my concerns.
