I have come to realize in the last few months what an utterly fragile thing our Civilization is and in how few hand our future rests.

It is all in the hands of 2 rebellious Democrat Senators and 9 Supreme Court Justices.

Let God’s will be done. Maybe he will stretch forth his mercy to this sad demented evil country one last time. We know in our heart of hearts we no longer deserve it.

This was the premise of Atlas Shrugged. Much like today, a rapacious overreaching government was slowly destroying the country. John Galt, a shadowy figure in the book, decides to give them what they want. He quietly goes to the few key industrial figures in the country and one by one convinces them to quit; that their continued hard work and genius was only being exploited by the government parasites.

By pulling these few key individuals out of the workforce, Galt speeds the destruction of the country to deny the parasites its host.
