I have been talking to my Co workers about my philosophy and where it comes from. Most of them agree with my Outlook on it all, but seem wholly disinterested. However before I left the shop today one of them left me a little tag on the back of my truck. Made my day.

    I voted against a union when working at the local Caterpillar dealership in '69; for me, the tagging wasn't as nice. I responded by soaking the underside of the offender's car's dashboard with pepper spray. talk about red eyes!

    I know what you mean. I have "Who is John Galt?" Tattooed on my forearm, and have to be careful what I say when people ask about it. It's most often mentioned in a positive light, but since most of my interactions are at work I have to make sure I don't provoke a complaint.

    I thought I was the only Atlas Shrugged fan in Oregon... It is not an easy state to live in for a fiscal conservative type. It is great that you have converted some of your fellow Oregonians!

    Haha I just meant in the sense of material possessions, I moved a few months ago and sold most everything of mine.

    Awesome.

    But Rozar, a recommendation from the "perfect paranoia is perfect awareness" school of internet usage: I would never post a pic of my vehicle on the 'net - especially nowadays and especially in context of philosophy/politics - with the actual license plate numbers showing. True, a Nogoodnik would have to know someone at the DMV to get your identity and street address, but... never assume. What's posted on the internet is forever.

    Granted too that Galt's Gulch is likely far more secure than Facebook, but something I did on FB before posting before-after pics of my car (after hitting a jumbo-sized piece of living room furniture on a particularly-dark LA onramp,) was to take the image into getPaint.net - freeware Photoshop, basically - and clone a single number from the plate and repeat it all the way across. Or you could do a blur effect, paste in a featureless block, or just crop it out, etc.

    Again, perhaps overly cautious, but given the Oregon plates, and remembering the sheer quantity of vandalism instances on my car during my 16 years in PDX (for my anti-collectivism stickers - and man, could I tell some stories on that,) it was the first thing that hit me - "He's showing his plates!?!"

    Excellent!

    My CRV was tagged once...the illegal alien or the libtard pinhead wasn't so thoughtful.

    Always better safe than sorry, although it's not my vehicle, but a company vehicle, they won't get much personal info from me.

    Coupled with the fact I don't have much to lose, I'm not worth any ones time.

    Thank you for your concern though.

    I hooked it onto my drivers side visor. Those words always encourage me when I see them, which is a rare thing to find these days. At least for me anyway.
