    John Galt is the Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end, as in the first and last letter of the word 'Individual'. Ok, I know you are saying the last letter is an 'L', but it is lower case, and if you squint it looks an awful lot like an upper case letter 'I'

    I think that the best answer is: I am John Galt.

    I am a productive person. I ask nothing of my fellow man other than the ability to trade freely and fairly and ask only of that in return. I respect all, and expect the same to be shown to me but will vigorously defend myself, my rights, and my liberty against any that choose to use force upon me.

    I am John Galt.

    John Galt is distillation of the human spirit: Man's desire to achieve greatness and to rejoice in said achievement with no trace regret

    John Galt: Prepare to meet him in Galt's Gulch, in the Colorado Rockies. But first, the Gulch must meet you in your mind. Who is John Galt?

    He is the epitome of personal choice and responsibility and a beacon of hope to a world that has reduced itself to believing that the good of the many out weighs the rights, abilities and productivity of the individual.

    John Galt is a Libertarian Capitalist who also supports the barter system. Under his tutelage, you do what you can to contribute to society, rather than take from society.

    John Galt is a man who became a symbol for reason.
    To recognize the symbol you need to know and understand what 'reason' really means

    John Galt is part of YOU. The part that aspires for perfection. Exalts in achievement. Resists mediocrity. When you next feel the rush of human inspiration within, introduce your own John Galt to the world!
