What would be an example of an ideal man? Famous writer and philosopher Ayn Rand was obsessed with this idea. She described two such men in her novels: Howard Roark in The Fountainhead, and John Galt in the Atlas Shrugged.

Here is an excerpt from movie The Fountainhead in which Howard Roark (acted by Gary Cooper) makes his defense speech, in which Ayn Rand's vision of the ideal man can be clearly seen. From the speech it can be concluded that he is definitely a libertarian.

Here we are at the start of the 2011, and it's time to start acting out on those new year promises that so many of us made. You know, the usual promises such as resolving to lose weight, to exercise more, to stop smoking or drinking, to get better grades in school, to save more money, and so on. I myself could certainly make a pledge to lose a couple of kilograms, spend less time on my computer, and exercise more often, but that's not the kind of resolution I want to bore you with. Instead, I want to tell you about my Libertarian New Year's resolution.

An interesting piece of writing under the name "Bohinj Declaration" can be found on website http://www.bohinjska-deklaracija.org/index.php?lang=engleski  Bohinj is an alpine valley with a lake in Slovenia.  I assume that the declaration was first drafted and signed in Bohinj, thus the name Bohinj Declaration.  Besides English, the website is translated into all the major languages spoken in Balkans, to whose people declaration seems to be directed.
