2009-20?? = Atlas Shrugged?
Two of my favorite fiction books are 1984 and Atlas Shrugged. There is no doubt that certain aspects of the Bush regime can be looked back upon as having 1984-esque elements. We had the NSA doing God knows what, the PATRIOT Act substantially growing state power, Gitmo, and the era of "You're either with us or against us," all very 1984-ish type things.
Do any of you suspect the years immediately following 2009 will have Atlas Shrugged-esque elements? Maybe certain elements of Directive 10-289? The Equalization of Opportunity Act? The speech where it is declared that freedom has been tried but has failed?
