Who is he?
A sign posted in N.Y.C.'s East Village circa 2005 begs the question:
From Atlas Shrugged:
"John Galt is Prometheus who changed his mind. After centuries of being torn by vultures in payment for having brought to men the fire of the gods, he broke his chains--and he withdrew his fire--until the day men withdraw their vultures." -Francisco d'Aconia
"The world will change when you are ready to pronounce this oath:
I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man,
nor ask another man to live for the sake of mine."- John Galt
