"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."
~ Martin Niemoller
“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.
