Anyone who is reasonably well read knows where my
sign-on name originates. Every so often Ayn Rand is
mentioned in a post. I am pretty well versed in
"Objectivism" which is the philosophy she created.
I have read most of her stuff, including 'Atlas Shrugged'
maybe 10 times. Anyway, John Galt is the major character but does not actually appear much until
very late in the book (part of what makes the plot IHMO). To get to the point, when I ERed, part of the reason was to remove myself (as much as possible)
from overreaching government and goofy laws.
Late in 'Atlas Shrugged', John Galt makes a long speech
explaining why he "dropped out". By this point
society is imploding and looking for a savior. One line from the speech is "Get the hell out of my way!"
That's how I felt about our government when I was
working. That's how I feel today.
