Who is John Galt? I am John Galt (Sort of)
Ayn Rand’s book, Atlas Shrugged involves a mystery of a man named John Galt. An inventor who refuses to allow the United States government to control his invention. He forms a community of like-minded individuals who believe in the sanctity of work and self-direction. Now I confess I have not

Wake-Up Little Gen-Xers!
I remember hearing several older people in my life bemoaning how my generation has had it “easy”. We had no great war to fight. We had no real challenging moments. My generation is known as Generation X for this reason–we have no great event to define us. We certainly were
