I'm amazed that CS Lewis seems to be so influential with bloggers of the Right.
Thnx sabang. Do any of these books say to purposely instigate chaos and misery in order to prod satisfied citizens to support change? It's pretty much standard procedure for the left.

Granted, the characters of Atlas Shrugged generated misery when they stopped supporting the corrupt system. They merely walked away. They didn't commit terrror and violence.
