Ghung - Mucho thanks. I made it thru the entire film. Lots of good emotional tags for sure. But did I miss the part where they've come up with a plan to replace ff energy? Some interesting pieces: such as the archbishop sitting in a very nice room talking about the plight of the poor. Likewise lots of sad pictures of folks living in severe poverty. But, again, did I miss the part of the proposed disobedience that will help elevate all those poor folks out of their circumstances?

Much of the world it truly a sh*thole for its people. But where's the solution?

Ayn Rand already pointed out how well THAT works out in "Atlas Shrugged". At the end of the day, when the politicians run out of capable people to blame and punish for being productive -- reality still hits the unproductive.

Too bad that part of BAU is insulating the self serving masses so thoroughly from economic reality that they don't realize this simple truth.

The only thing Ayn Rand thinking has done is foster deregulation and empower corporatocracy (think Citizen's United). Just because someone is a smart elite doesn't mean their works will further the public good.
