Who is John Galt?

This is the pseudonym used by one of the Kumustahan participants, taken from the novel by Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged. I have read the novel itself a few years back, though I skipped the speech by Galt towards the end of the story. I plan to re-read that portion only but I already shipped that book to Paete. I have in my shelf now Rand's Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology which I find really boring probably due to my lack of basic foundation on the subject of philosophy. I do not call myself an Objectivist though my work - computers - have a lot of things in common with it since it demands a lot of rational thought process in a day to day basis. Rand's ideas make one think and re-think the foundation of morality as handed down to us by our very religious society. In the end, I pick up what I think is good and I discard what I can't accept. Did I like the novel? I think the novel's plot is convoluted. What is important though is understanding the Objectivist ideas that Rand advocates and I think having it in novel form helps (at least for me) in getting those ideas across.

I Wonder Why?

I am getting flamed again. Why are some people so narrow-minded? This guy is so amusing that even using "LOL" in the forum has become an issue!?!? The irony of it all is that that was supposed to be coming from somebody who fancy himself an extreme moralist. Beware when somebody tells you that he is a moralist, specially an extreme one. Give him enough power or enough chance and see what he is capable of doing. Reminds me of President Bush who said "liberty for the Iraqi people is a great moral cause." He waged war for his misplaced convictions and in the process, destroyed thousands of innocent Iraqi lives. I will not dispute his very strong opinion about me since he admitted that he didn't know me personally. I am just wondering where is it all coming from?

And forget about his ignorant arguments against atheists and atheism. *yawn*
