re: Read Ayn Rand's non-fiction essays about politics, economics, psychology

I got a newsflash for you. stealing $1000 worth of stuff is a FelONY, every state and will get you some serious jail time in a lot of states. Some states, it's just $300 to get into the "big time", too. 30k, in 2000, just from inflation, is 60k in today's money. stealing 60 k will definitely get you a 5 year prison sentence, no problem.
