Hey, if I didn't make it so blatantly obvious someone might get really upset. Besides, playing the devil's (leftist) advocate is a lot of fun and my post to Tom was mostly legit - as all businessmen ARE glorified in films. He's barking up the wrong tree if he thinks lacetate hasn't been very kind to the capitalist ideosophy.

Attention and focus IS the key. Negative or positive attention is equal when the goal is attention. As for the minimum wage, I'm all for raising it after all the illegal aliens have been deported. Until then it's just an incentive for businesses to hire more illegals and get around that one. And yes, enforcement of laws is swell and fine, but proper enforcement would require either an army of undercover agents or a narc reward system of some kind.
