What I really wanna know is...

Who is Dagny Taggart?

@Bro: Galt is a main character in Ayn Rand's book Atlas Shrugged in which a number of capitalists and geniuses got tired of the blood-suckng government rewarding mediocrity and dropped out of society.

Quite the read and even though I don't subscribe to Rand's philosopy, it is one of my favorite books of all time. I especially love the depiction of the society the drop-outs set up for themselves in a secret place. It is one in which each person is free to live and work and create and thrive without limits by government and it toally sounds to me like what society shall be in heaven, or during the 1000 year reign of Christ.

First people would have to read it and seeing that it is over 1000 pages, how many do you think will?

John Galt is Ayn Rand's ideal man.
