Hey. I did my own John Galt speech and posted it to youtube. Lousy quality but I had fun doing it.

    Me too. I believe we are building something of note. Someday we may be able to say, I remember when we helped bring a badly needed message to the populace that helped remove the veil of ignorance.

Excellent job Rich. (I left a comment on youtube too...or I think I did...I have NO idea what the hell I'm doing on the internet outside of the gulch and eBay...and that's iffy sometimes.)

  Thanks Shrug. Saw your comment. Not sure how a lot of this stuff works either. Took me an hour to post a 2 minute video. I actually started calling it mytube. I guess we have to learn if we want to get the word out.

Excellent! I like what you included and changed.
My ancient stem-powered computer couldn't keep up with the sound, but I think the quality is excellent.
as often, one small negative:
It should not look like you are reading the oath, it should look like you are taking it, looking right into the viewers' eyes.
Congratulations for hanging in there with YouTube, also.

  Thanks winterwind. I agree. Didn't want to make a mistake. Should have borrowed Obama's teleprompter.

        I like both. a beautifully semi dry reisling or Liebfraumilch in the fall-after a vigorous hike in the mountains to cool off with. I like a sultry, buttery chard in the evenings to unwind with, I enjoy a Pouilly-Fuissé when I want a vigorous dinner conversation. I enjoy a small tip of porto with a dab of dark chocolate before he evening closes

        You know your wines better than I do. I generally drink dry reds. I go to a winery I like and taste test. I buy what tastes good at the time. Thought of keeping a journal once but never did.

        Yeah...when kh and non mooch get talking wine and I just sit back with my Seagram's Jamaican Me Happy and think.."I have NO idea what you two are even speaking about." It's a different language... literally..I can't pronounce half of what she just said up there! (And I took French for 2 years.)

    I commented on youtube also. That was my workout for the morning. It didn't like any of my gold dollar sign pictures so I finally just selected their guitar and ended up with a box instead.

  Thanks NMA. I have wondered how they will handle the real John Galt speech in ASIII. Decided to write my own. Had a lot of fun doing this.

    I think it's great that you did that. And I'm not mistaken in hearing a western PA accent am I?

        I used to live in Pleasant Hills/Baldwin Borough. Then Shadyside briefly. My dad is in South Hills, and my brother and a sister are in Washington.
