Atlas Shrugged Part 1 is coming to theatres 15 April 2011. Consider reading Atlas Shrugged, the book, between now and then, if you are unfamiliar with it.
The book was published in 1957. The governmental and societal trends it describes were well set in motion by that time. A second Jimmy Carter presidential term would have "sealed the deal," by making the trends virtually irreversible. Instead, a generation raised with the warnings from Atlas Shrugged and Orwell's 1984 helped to temporarily turn the tide in the 1980s.
A documentary about the book, Atlas Shrugged, is supposed to be available soon.

US President Obama has been compared to a second coming of Jimmy Carter. Mr. Obama's revolution of hyper-statism has been somewhat slowed by the election of a "Tea Party" congress. Like the Reagan election of 1980 and the Congressional election of 1994, the new 2010 congress can be seen as a delaying action, at best. But having more time to prepare is only helpful if persons use the time well.
