"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
“Going Galt” Not “Gulching” by Wendy McElroy
A friend once claimed that he was searching for “the Promised Gulch." He referred, of course, to the state-free Galt's Gulch depicted in Atlas Shrugged to which the producers of society withdraw to form their own community and to remove their support from the parasites. Galt's Gulch is the most anarchistic aspect of Atlas Shrugged; for all practical purposes, it is an anarchist society -- a "society by contract." I wriggle my toes in anti-government delight when I read the Galt's Gulch sections.
