"[...] what I always wanted to do was write a sequel to _Atlas Shrugged_, where the first generation of kids to grow up in Galt's Gulch turn out to be a bunch of backstabbing amoral hellions. Ayn Rand had this sort-of tacit endorsement of politeness and morality, even while her characters kept preaching that the only good was what brings you individual monetary gain. Well, raise a bunch of kids by constantly hammering the message "Selfishness is good" into their heads, and just wait and see how they treat you when they grow up. Sharper than a serpent's tooth, I should think." -- Thomas Daulton, 2010-07-06
