While ambling down Interstate 94 with the cruise control just a shade above the speed limit, a blood-red pickup truck the size of Philadelphia flew by like a fireball in one of those Armageddon flicks -- cue the impending disaster effects and tell the extras to start running. I didn’t get a good look at the driver but I did spot the unmistakable Ducks Unlimited decal and a bumper sticker that read, “Ayn Rand Was Right.” I wondered, “right about what?” Was this a country gentleman who dabbled in political zealotry while passing the time in makeshift blind with shotgun at the ready? Perhaps a wordsmith who found the double entendre of the word “right” a clever statement in itself.
