This book was a real pile of shit. It came from the same pile Ayn Rand used for her seminal pile of Pseudo-Libertarian shit. It created a huge straw man world to make the selfish male stereotypes look good - and it should be telling that to make a world THAT bad to do so.

Well to be fair, they probably thought that since it was good for the Michigoose...

Typical.

Bill Nye is definitely a shelter-in-placer.

Well it does...and then they just whine about not getting as much healthcare as the immigrants and their anchor babies do.

Dear lord how will i get this coffee off of my keyboard!

Using an asshole for a shirt-collar tends to rob the brain of precious oxygen...
