I believe we've found it! Welcome to Galt's Gulch everyone! ;D John has a few different faces it seems, so thanks to all of you...seriously. I really appreciate what you've done. :)
Good call. Gotta love an Atlas Shrugged reference. wt:

I believe you are misrepresenting Ms. Rand's idyllic refuge. It remains to be seen if this is truly the place. I doubt it, but that doesn't mean it's bad, just not in tune with Ms. Rand.
P.S. I love the irony of a bastion of Objectivist freedom being applied to something that Nate owns. ;:| ;:|
hmmm... not sure i agree with you senor sinister. Galt's Gulch was essentially just a place where everyone worked for what they had, no free lunch, no big brother, and everyone was free to float at his own level (to achieve or not, as they desired) without outside intervention.
the rules here are basically just a codified social contract. hopefully, they won't have to be enforced and can remain simple guidelines.

There are too many rules here, and too little faith in the ability of people, to fit with Ayn Rand's Objectivist Ideal.
Not that it's the end of the world, I just thought it was humorous that Nate's website was alllied with Objectivism.
