You don't see other political philosophies having their own font, except for Zionism, which has Wing Dings.
Speaking of Objectivism, did anyone ever see the movie of
The Fountainhead? Weird, strange film, and I happen to be a big fan of Ayn Rand.
I just hope they don't screw up the movie version of
Atlas Shrugged, which happens to be my favorite book. If they're going to do a decent job on
Atlas it would have to either be a long movie, multi-part (Like
Kill Bill or the latest
Harry Potter flick), or it will have to be a mini-series, possibly like
Evening in Byzantium or
The Thorn Birds.
