    I am currently reading Atlas Shrugged for the first time and I have to say that it has already had an impact on my life. My family runs a small business so I know what it is like to have a target on your back. Wish you the best and would like to know what you think of the movies.I am looking forward to part II.

    Hey There Rich,
    Thank YOU ever so much for YOUR greeting welcoming me to the gulch....I read AS in the early 80's and it had quite an impact on my life.even to this very day....my hope for YOU is that as YOU continue to read AS that Ayn Rand's words shall resonate with YOU throughout YOUR life.....
    nowww...that stated...I shall politely respond to YOUR query that YOU posed to me about why I am now just a ''frustrated travel agent''....It started when Jimmy Carter, whom I hold in complete disdain, deregulated the Airlines...I adjusted to that.....then the Airlines established their Frequent Flyer programs....I knew the true reason that those programs were established to collect personal information about Travel Agency's client's so that they could develop a rapport with our treasured clients..both Corporate and Leisure clients...and later as I suspected,.....they ultimately used that information to to cut out the Travel Agencies, as their next move was to quit paying Travel Agencies commisions for selling their Airline tickets.....I had early on seen the ''handwriting on the wall'' .and I felt so ''frustrated'' and like my very hands were now tied behind my back....they might as well have given me a cigarette and a blindfold and placed me in front of their ''firing squad''instead of leaving me to dangle in the wind and watch my career dying a slow and painful death......
    Rich I do apologize....I fear that I do not have a succinct bone in my body..(SMILES)I aspire to remember in my writings that ''brevity is the soul of wit''
    Most Sincerely YOURS, Sheryl ...a.k.a. ''Sunshine''
    P.S. I do so hope to hear from YOU again....YOU are my first contact ''Friend'' here in the Gulch......((BIGGER SMILES))
