What's with the picture of Barney Frank?
I thought this was an April fool's joke, but IMDB has a page for it and a quick Google search does turn up articles from 2006 mentioned Jolie being attached at one point.

The main reason the financial crisis happened was pure greed and the reason people got away with being so greedy was because they were allowed to. Umm... what's that thing called where companies are allowed to do absolutely whatever they want even in complete disregard of even their own long-term survival... oh yeah aggressive-free-market capitalism, just what Ayn Rand wanted.
I hope Ayn Rand's work is dead and gone so that at least my generation isn't going to suffer the complete stupidity. I'm 21 and I've already been through two large recessions thanks to the US, coming from the UK I hope to sweet god that America stops following moronic policies and starts towing the line with the rest of the world.
Quite honestly, if there's a 3rd economic recession because of the US, I'm going to start voting for the people trying to ban international trade with the US, at least then the US can kill itself without ruining everyone else's country too.
I think a work of literature that has had such an impact should never be lost or forgotten no matter how much you disagree with the content. Mein Kampf is a great example of this.
From a sociological point of view, ignoring your history (either physical history like WW2 or economic and political history) is likely to cause the problems to repeat.
