    John Galt is every man, woman or child in any land on this planet who wants to live a life of freedom, unfettered by political systems that wish to crush or prey on his spirit and dreams and accomplishments. And John Galt is a person who wishes the same for all others as well.

    Not everyone can build a hidden sanctuary to escape from an unreasonable world. But those of us who believe in individual liberty that would sooner give up than give in: WE are John Galt.

    John Galt is the belief & ideal of truth, justice, and the American way of life.
    He is the TEA PARTY of 1959 who sat dormant and festered for 50 years.
    I am John Galt!

    John Galt leads by example, is more interested in his liberty than his security, finds happiness in creating and not in taking. John Galt is that rare individual who chooses to live life on his terms and rejects living as a slave to anyone or any group.

    Who is John Galt? He is the man who showed the world that fidelity to oneself and ones own ideas and ones own happiness are the highest principles achievable for humans on Earth.

    John Galt is the name Ayn Rand gave to that part of all free men who choose to think, create and live by their own beliefs that no man is a slave to another and his creations are his own. No doubts, no guilt and no compromise of man's free will.

    that's a poignant statement today. The "guests" on the site (non-paying) lost the ability to vote as of last night. It's precious-use it! ;)
