Tuesday July 23, 2013  The heroine has a job in the family business.  She happens to be competent; but she has a job because she's a member of the family.

Her ancestor built the business with extensive government help.  No nonsense about free enterprise or small government in his methods.

As part of the happy ending, she wears handcuffs in honor of the man who has claimed her.

The book?  Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand.  Regarded by some as an individualist, minarchist classic.

***Met with my ACA sponsor at Sporty's Bar.  Very good session.  Got me started on working through a problem.
