rone"Corruption charges! Corruption? Corruption is government intrusion into market efficiencies in the form of regulations. That's Milton Friedman. He got a goddamn Nobel Prize. We have laws against it precisely so we can get away with it. Corruption is our protection. Corruption keeps us safe and warm. Corruption is why you and i are prancing around in here instead of fighting over scraps of meat out in the streets. Corruption is why we win."Syriana was a good, all too plausible movie. The above rant was chilling and disturbing. It makes me wonder when we'll evolve or develop a society that moves past nationalism, which is just tribalism in a suit.
Kim and i also rented The Illusionist, which was quite enjoyable. Even when you know what's coming, it's very well delivered, and the acting was excellent all around.
