Who is John Galt on my car

A while back I wrote "Who is John Galt" on my car windows. The snow has weathered it a bit but you can still see it. Looks "Atlas Shrugged". Yesterday I saw a middle aged man and a high school girl walk over and read it. Wonder what they were thinking???

    I hope they were genuinely curious as to the meaning of the statement (Who is John Galt? Is a statement not a question) you are making.

    While I agree that this a beginning, I also do not believe in our present form of government. Was it not back in the late 1800's that they decided to take apart big business for what reasons? Their fear that should they not please those with money those with money would get rid of them. So long as those men were building America it was okay. Soon as they had more money, those in government and those with their sights on becoming a member of the government saw those men as bad, a threat. How is it different today? It isn't. Only now our government has become so large that we the people cannot afford to pay them. Their poor decisions economically have brought us to where we are. No matter who we vote in once in they do nothing. If I ran my business the way they run this country I would not be in business for long.
    I do not believe they actually fear the voters as they once did. The electoral vote is the one they fear and lets face it they too come at a price. Do away with the electoral vote and then the vote of the people will become something to fear.

    I have always said the one thing all politicians fear is a voter who is paying attention. We have to get the right people elected and then watch them like a hawk.

    It has begun. You are part of the beginning in letting people know about the films and being right there and present when they come back to ask questions. And very soon you can play an intregral role in getting people into the nearest theater to see Who Is John Galt.

    I know who John Galt is, what I want to know is "Where is John Galt?".

    Well said Monalisa. The time for change is here. We need to work hard so it's the right change this time.

    Good day all. This is a nice conversation. Back in the 70's when I read AS and attempted to enter into a conversation with others about the message of AS, I was met with an "who are you talking about, what are you talking about" The best reply I received was that is a great love story! The only way I see it as a love story is love of ones self. I remember wondering how long it would take before I met anyone who read the book and got its message. While we in the Gulch may not think like clones we do get the message. We share a desire for truth and justice.
    I have the privilege to share with others due to the film. It is nice when others go watch part l and ll, then come back to ask questions. It is like watching a light turn on in the dark. They get it. Now the time for real change is at the door, waiting.

    The Libs don't want to Shrug. Things are going there way. I like that you did that. Let them know some of us will resist.

    Several years ago I had a "Who Is John Galt?" bumper sticker on my car, and a few people in this liberal community "got it." Later I had my own bumper sticker made that simply said "Let's Shrug", with a tip of the hat to our member in Argentina, and no one has asked about it. Guess I went too far!

    I have a bumper sticker that says the same thing. People stop and read it and look puzzled but every now and then someone will read it and SMILE!!

    I was in the store looking out so I couldn't talk to them. Hopefully they look it up or better yet start asking others.

    Anything that helps spread the word. I always think if it starts a conversation who knows how many people will hear about AS.

    I wear my 20th Century Motors hat around often, especially when traveling. Every once in awhile someone says something indicating they understand. Nice to run into random AS fans all over the country.

    Avalanche warnings, flood warning....yep...that's springtime in the Rockies for ya, lol. I washed the crud off my car today. Of course it's going to rain for the next week, but at least the chemical is mostly washed off.
