Silly Question:

Who is John Galt?

PS: I could NOT RESIST... Obviously!

The $50,000 question is...
If you tried to get them to meetup... Would they attend or go on Strike?

We may be quite self-sufficient, but go around bragging all about how intellectual you are, and plenty of people, me included, will think otherwise. Specifically, one would think you might have a modicum of modesty...

Kind of like as long as I have my clothes on, I look marginally decent. The minute those come off, uh oh! My thought would be you would be better off to put those "clothes" back on.

But that's just dumb little me. Go on wif yo' bad self.

Have the same its called "The Rockies" and not with a uniform : ))

Well, I have a mountain practically in my front yard. I guess that makes me smarter than the average valley dweller? I think not.

Honestly, what I have learned over the years is that I am perceived as MUCH more intelligent when I let other people decide how smart I am, instead of me telling them.

you quite obviously don't interact with down to earth country folk anywhere :-(

Well, the guy who named it was a real estate developer, not a farmer or rancher. Seems like another real estate developer has been in the news lately, but the name escapes me ... ;-)

“ hard to see Omaha farmers and ranchers reading philosophy of any sort!!” to Quote you, it’s getting hard to not see you as pretentious. You cannot be a successful rancher and not understand A is A.

Apparently so. I found this at douglascohistory.org

"John Galt Boulevard was named in the early 1970s by Ron Abboud, a real estate
developer who once owned land where the street connects 108th Street to Q Street. His
favorite book was Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. “Who is John Galt?” is the opening line
and Galt is the hero in the Rand classic, which extols economic individualism and self-­‐
interest, and foresees the decline of “men of the mind” and the end of civilization.
