I'm with you on going "Galt"

Unfortunately, I'm afraid that few of our fellow citizens will join us and our small numbers will probably not make one iota of difference.

At further risk of sounding like a defeatist, I believe the die was cast decades ago and the recent congressional battle over extending the national borrowing limit was confirmation that we're on the same glide slope of every nation that has gone before us.

Realistically, our only hope may instead be to gather in sections of the country among like minded people and prepare to weather the coming storm.

Well, for me, I am preparing to hunker down. Without the will and a moral center the fall to an empire has begun. Not sure what will come out the other side.

Jefferson's predictions may unfortunately need to come true."...If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ...And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants...."

For me I am hoping an objectivist revolution will lead to only a metaphorical bloodletting. I am not confident but I can hope.
