On the other hand, where is John Galt? Maybe he just disappeared into Galt’s Gulch. I’m surprised that no one has mentioned “Atlas Shrugged,” where the rich and productive faked their own deaths or other disappearances to drop out of the society run by the incompetent moochers and corrupt politicians.
Maybe I missed something, but were there any signs of Mr. Fossett becoming disenchated and wanting to 'check out' of society or life? I recall him supposedly actively planning an future agenda consistent with the last few years of his life.
Unless I see some evidence that makes me scratch my chin and go, "hmmmm" I'll chalk this incident up to tragic accident.
