Fellow libertarians, paleos, white males, southerners, Christians, Americans, Westerners, heterosexuals ... please join me in apologizing to the dimwit-Serioso types. And I apologize for implying that those not on the list aren't allowed to apologize ... Anyone is. Except dimwit-Seriosos.

Literary Apologies
I have fallen to the Harry Potter mania and have bought the latest book. I have decided to read that instead of *gasp* Atlas Shrugged. Perhaps I don't need to apologize about this after all...
I think you should apologize if you've never read Atlas Shrugged. I know you know its a work worth your time. But then, the randian argument is that you shouldn't read atlas shrugged-- because clearly Harry Potter is more along the lines of what you want to do. So, Ayn Rand says: Don't apologize!

Stephan,
I think maybe you do need to apologize. After all, it can be objectively proven that Atlas Shrugged is higher art than Harry Potter.
