John Galt Speaks: A Morality Proper to Man

An excerpt from Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. At the brink of industrial collapse, on the eve of a national address by the top bureaucratic pundit, John Galt, the leader of those who have defected, the greatest inventor of the age, pirates the airwaves to tell people the true reason for the decay of their world.

"I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...Loincloth!

A city where the scrotum would not fear the tightey-whitey, where the dong would not be limited by petty codpieces, where the great would not be constrained by the button-fly!

And with the sweat of your balls, Loincloth can become your garment as well..."

My name is Atlas, and I ask, Is a man not entitle to hang loose and free?

"No!" Says the man in Washington, "It is indecent."

"No!" Says the man in The Vatican, "It is a sin."

"No!" Says the man in Moscow, "It's freaking out everyone!"
