Atlas Shrugged clothing still creates reactions

With the cold weather here I have been wearing my Atlas Shrugged sweatshirt and hoodie recently. I am surprised how many people still react to it. Many of my customers already know I am an Ayn Rand fan. It still seems that new people come up to me each time I wear it and ask about the book and the movies. They always seem relieved to find another AS fan.

    I live near Galt, Ca. and when I wear one of my 'Who is John Galt' t-shirts someone often asks about it.

    Well, I "got" it the first time, but there's so much in it, I read it at least six times and always found something new. When people quake, though, at the size of the book (not saying that's what happened with your friend - just adding this as a comment) you already know they aren't going to "get" it. Attention span is too short.

    I told a friend about AS and he said he saw a bumper sticker "Who is John Galt? And was curious enough to find out , he was in AS . He tried the book on CD and couldn't finish it. Oh well.
    His wife is super altruistic and the book was highlighting her cognitive dissonance I suspect.
