Naivete (binary? fractions?)

I have been called naive - to an extent it is very true. I do not see gray areas in places that others seem to see grey. The sciences and engineering is not like that - there are laws of physics, there are rules derived from mathematics and the subject matter is not subject to whimsies - conclusions can be drawn from a set of data that will pretty much be identical no matter who looks at such data. Oh, when did I first hear about by naivete? As long as I can remember, through high school, college years and beyond. It was only natural therefore that when I first read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, it was an immediate hit for me. I read it often, amazed by her perception and the beautiful logical structure she elaborates for life and living. Apparently, Atlas Shrugged remains a popular book even today, especially today, as we watch Obama and his administration dismantle the United States as we know it, in many cases brick by brick, but mostly using the wrecking ball. Where is Midas Mulligan when we need him? Where is our own John Galt?
