A friend reminded me yesterday of a post that I’ve thinking
of doing for sometime.

So here it is: Savatage, progressive rock at its best, two
brilliant videos from two brilliant albums.

I had a couple of Halloween related videos/songs to
suggest but my cable connection was down for 2 days.

Anyway here they are. They’re not “ahha pumpkin horror”
videos/songs. Just what popped into my mind thinking about
the meaning of All Hallows Eve… and I’m not even religious.

Its been 50 years since one of the most influential books
ever was written: “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Shrugged

Entrepreneurs and businessmen love it and it has become one
of the most influential books ever (2nd after the Bible) because
it presents selfishness, individuality and the pursuit of profit,
the essence of business, as profoundly moral.

BOOKS THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE IN READERS’ LIVES

In collectivist Europe (and in particular in Portugal) its mostly
unknown. The christian-altruist allucinatory consensus is hard to
break through… I guess it comes down to which pill you choose: the
red or the blue one…

I chose the red.
