Who is John Galt?

That's the question that's being posted these days all over the 'net from those quoting Ayn Rand and comparing the current time to the plot of her famous novel, Atlas Shrugged.

I never cared for the book all that much, but I read it years and years ago before I became interested in politics, so perhaps I should try reading it again.

That said, I still don't care who is John Galt. I'd rather know who Alvin Tostig was.

I re-read it recently and it was still a tough read for me.

I found it tedious and said so in a political forum. I was savaged for not having any sort of literary sense and one doofus left me a one sentence reply:

"Pearls before swine."

That's ok, that old adage has been leveled at me before. I replied, as I always do:

"Stick it in your ear...or silk purse, either way."
