O/T - I know who John Galt is...

This should clarify... I think.

WHO IS JOHN GALT

 

What kind of car does he have?
Any pics of his girlfriend?

 

No, but I have pics of yours... for sale.

 

So what is the point ? I am kinda slow.

 

Well, I wanted to kill off that "political" post, but the whole Who Is John Galt thing was going unanswered. So I thought I would start a new, completely useless post to keep people aware.

 

I see. I think..........

 

and you believe the claptrap ayn rand spews out? puhleeze!

 

Never read Ayn Rand. I'm just supplying a link to answer the question.

 

Thank You!

"I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine."

ó John Galt, Atlas Shrugged

 

I guess I am just shallow. I have no idea who any of these people are.

Root, I've got it on tape if you don't want to read it.

 

What the FUCK has this got to do with HOT RODS???....OLDBEET

 

Just to keep it automotive-related.......
I'll think of this post everytime I drive my hemi-chevy down John Galt Boulevard to go make my insurance payment, here in Omaha.
Quite a reach, eh?

 

All that bullshit means little to me, other than to suggest John Galt is some kind of serious wanker.

 

ayn rand was one proficient writer at turning out pure bullshit. read Anthem. its pure homegrown shit. but knowing who john galt is isn’t going to make you like reading ayn rand. you can’t build a traditional hot rod until you read the fountainhead. gonna read it now? it’s a fuckin how to book on how to build a rat rod.

like all people and things related to morals, values, esthetics and such, john galt is indeed a wanker. and posting worthless shit about who he is on the hamb isn’t going to make you cool. darwin was wrong, things don’t evolve into perfection, they evolve into shit. let things go for a while and look what happens. we’ve had thousands of years to build mechanical perfection, and what we wind up is some dink with a rat rod running the steering out the top of his cowl, and selling it to some other dork willing to pay money for this shit.

objectivism is just another one of those worthless philosophies that if you study long enough, you’ll realize that we, as humans are still closer to the trees we came down from than the city on a hill we think we live in. no one here would like objectivism much anyway, they would have to give up the collectivism they love most. is a hot rod a way to get from point a to point b? or an art form? or a toy? the ideal man would build a hot rod, and never use it. but he would know what it was. i don’t have a clue what the purpose is. there is no reason for the hot rod, not in the hunter gatherer sense, so it must be a non-essentail. as rational beings, we have no place building such mechanical monstrosities. so in the end, we are not rational beings, all things we do are not based on reason, objectivism doesn’t work, the ideal man doesn't exist, ayn rand is full of bullshit, and you should go park your ass in the garage and figure out some mechanical marvel to build. four-thirteen

 

Did I hear that Ayn Rand finally croaked?

If not, she needs to be beaten about the head with one of those 26" or so 2x4's that have the bent rusty nails sticking outta the end...

Bitch... and that fag adjunct philosophy professor who hung on her every word... FUCKED up my gpa...

I specialized in the Eastern shit... what was priceless was listening to a Taiwanese Buddhist monk attempting English...

"Wha ista soun uf won han crapping?"

I remember some part of Buddhism had something to do with "Mahayana and Hinayana." (sp?) One was "The Great Vehicle" (hemi-powered) and one was the lesser vehicle. (rice-burning 4-cyl) At least thats how I wrote my notes...

 

But does you know who John Milner is?

 

I KNOW Jack Shit!!!

 

John Milner? Not personally, no.

What's the polar opposite of one of those?
A shriveled up dry hearted conservative or just a heartless one?



FatHack,
I may be alot of things but I'm not liberal about any of them.Radical, excessive, compulsive, adictive maybe but not liberal.

Burndup,
Don't know why you dson't like Ayn.
It's generaly thought that she wrote the book on conservativism.
I have acopy of Fountainhead...sitting right along side Jerry Rubin's "Do it"...

 

Dr J...I know, I KNOW...but since everyone THINKS of you as the Super Liberal(tm)....(Thanks in no small part to GERM!)....I just HAD ta rattle your cage a little!
