@2 are you serious? How is that not funny? Your life must be extremely boring if you can't laugh at that. Maybe focus all that pent up frustration and concern at something that actually matters???
I saw a documentary about a rock band (can't remember the name) whose drummer died of SHC onstage, during a show! It seems like there's got to be some footage from that concert...maybe it'll turn up someday.
JH, I realize that Jake DeSantis doesn't have much in common with John Galt, since he is a fictional character. Its more of a commentary on how AIG is viewed by a majority of the public. First of all AIG is vilified by the increasingly government influenced media, just like every other large influential company (except Apple of course). Then conveniently the government swoops in to 'save' (aka nationalize) this failing corporation using, like you said, our money. And thirdly how this successful executive who instead of going down with the ship and refusing to work for government goons has the chutzpah to resign on the grounds of his moral values is made to look like a whining quitter. As for the Golgafrinchans, i think they are that family on E! with the new show "Keeping Up with the Golgafrinchans"...
"In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title."
