Read this and weep for those stuck at present here in constricting Connecticut. This is bad, folks!
While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.

I was texting a friend last night who asked me about going to war with Syria. I asked her who else she knew was even talking about it and she said no one pays attention to the news. I jumped on my soap box and had a rant about us all being mooing cows that are getting herded to a cliff and no one's having a cow over it! Out of all of my many 'friends' I have 3 that have a spark in them...and it's not very bright either. And they aren't interested in reading a big book (one said she wasn't intelligent enough to understand it..!!!) I try to seek out others who get it but they are so hard to find. I will suggest the movies again...if something in them doesn't click soon I'm going to stop wasting my energy and time on these "friendships".
I'm actively working on introducing people to the movies. I've noticed that many people's eyes glaze over when they hear 'book'. Movie is easy. I've had people say 'what happens next' and I tell them either wait for AS III or read the book. Amazing how many read the book afterward.
My point primary is stating that the reason (in my opinion) that John Galt's character worked and is successful is he did not stand around and wait for people to search for him, or to just wake up on their own. He search for them, he organized them.
The sheer fact that the term "Who is John Galt?" was used by people that had no idea what was going on, did not share any of the common ideals, and others.... is the "power" I believe we are missing in today's society, to help rectify the issues, bring attention where it is needed and spread the philosophy and foundation.
Philosophy without action is only academic and I for one am a not a Professor, I am Doer.
Now on a more holistic note in reality we the "enlightened" are intended to be John Galt. I am working to rally all of the people in my field that I know and have contact with as well as spread the book and film to people that are not leaches.
However I still feel "we" lack a single active "John Galt" I am thinking something like the group anonymous. What if "we" whom are capable started to produce some anonymous videos (not as the group anon but as in not under our name) we post them under a variant of the name John Galt or similar. Each one without showing an actual face and try to spread the news.
The fact of the matter here is simple this is not just a problem facing the United States. This is a global epidemic. Altruism / Altruistic people have infected the world and I for one do not want my children suffering through this disease.
And yes I do not really want "me" to show up on the map but it would be nice to have a way that said how many people are "near" this zip code, and return a number not the people. I will contact them. Thank you
However, if you want to get something going in your state, feel free to post a meet-up. Others have posted about special get togethers in their state that dovetail with those of us who support the movies. Good luck! oh-and welcome west
if not I am happy to build one if the admin is interested I would request you please contact me.
