3. He had invented an engine that runs on air, or something
but the big, bad collectivists were gonna make him share! :cry:

So he destroyed his toy and ran away!

4. You have the right author, but the wrong book.
John Galt was the arrogant jerk of a protagonist from "Atlas Shrugged." I can't stand Ayn Rand. :grr:
