  1. Thanks for the welcome, mate. I know the thrust of the article was aimed towards goverment bail-outs but the statement I quoted was stand-alone. If you listen to the talk she says it as a definitive; sure it's mixed in with a bunch of stuff about executive compensation and bail-outs but that statement in any context is aborhant to me. I cannot justify it.
  2. Australian Council of Trade Unions president Sharan Burrow's latest disgorgement to the press. Full article here: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story...5013871,00.html I guess she never heard that businesses cannot employ ANYONE unless they're generating positive returns for their stakeholders (the broad definition of the word) over the long term. Oh wait, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, CitiGroup, BofA, AIG....
  3. I don't think any book can be harmful to an individual.

    Green Lantern

    If you're looking for Ayn Rand influences in comics - look at Frank Miller's work. The second book in his Martha Washington series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Give_Me_Liberty) is loosely based on Atlas Shrugged and Miller acknowledges it as such in the afterword. Also features artwork of Dave Gibbons of Watchmen fame. The Sin City novels also tackle some interesting moral subjects. All good stuff. Sorry, I've never read Green Lantern but hopefully this gives you start.
