WHO IS JOHN GALT?

I saw the question spray painted on the wall of an abandoned building today. Someone in the depressed slums of this city knows how to read. Either that or the question has taken on a new meaning. But for anyone who has read the book Atlas Shrugged, the question I s cry for help, a rage against what is happening, a scream for help.

Obazy is not John Galt.

John Galt believed in the individual and their ability to survive and thrive, to invent and innovate, to do good.

Obazy doesn?t believe any of that. He believes the government needs to take care of the people, to control them, to tell them what they can and cannot do, what they can accomplish, and how much any one person can have. He believes and is building an oppressive government, which will steal freedom in the name of benevolence.

I know who not John Galt is.

Who is the Mirrorman

Many people want to know who I am. Beyond the costumed crime fighter, people want to know my true identity. Since I have put a dent in the pocket books of professional criminal, they are the most desperate to find out who I am. The law enforcement officials are just as eager to know who I am, and put me behind bars.

Why are these two diametrically opposed groups in agreement when it comes to knowing who I am? Perhaps it is to prove that I am merely a man and nothing more.

Who am I? It is easy I am a man born in American and until recently I was a free citizen. I am a man born from the ideals set for and debated in the federalist papers. I am who Alexander Hamilton saw when he envisioned a free America. I am a man who works to better himself with no help or handout from anyone or any government, I demand freedom. I am a man who believes in the equality of all men, and if this tenant was truly believed throughout the world, there would be no wars, no famine, and no need for a government of any kind.

Who am I? I am the man you want to become, before you are told that you must pay for other citizen?s lack of motivation and drive, with your own money. I am the man you want to become, before you learn that you exist at the behest of a government.

Who am I? I am you. I am the Mirrorman.
