This is an excellent article, Mel, and as Pamela said, “thought provoking.” I love the sunset in your photo, in fact I marvel at sunsets quite often. I probably don’t give a clear blu sky the credit it deserves though, and take its beauty for granted.
I haven’t read Ayn Rand. She sounds like a good writer, but I can’t agree with her view on capitalism or skyscrapers. Opinions, however, were probably much different at that time. An enjoyable read.
