So has anyone seen this film? Can you tell me why the film isn't called "In Pursuit of Material Gain". Is the film's subtext that, you too, can have a flash car and work on Wall Street and this will definately make you happy?

What an odd film.

I can also tell you a secret which is related to this. The guy in real life was supposed to be a feature in a prominent NY based magazine, but the owners of the magazine thought that his story was unlikely and that conservative readers in the mid-west and south would not believe a black man made it rich legitimately and so pulled the story. [yes]

I'd be a lot happier working on Wall Street. [xmasgrumpy]

You'd think so, but that's why they pulled it.

And yet many conservatives today are just as backwards as back then.

What's not happy about being poor and going after a job that has the potential to make your life better? I know my happiness level went from low to high from the point were I was on the verge of absolutely no money to were I am now. The only thing that changed? I got a good job at Qualcomm.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there are conservatives anywhere and everywhere, just like there are liberals anywhere and everywhere. In fact, I think it's pretty ignorant to base someone's beliefs by their location in the world. But whatever, back to Calculus.

you nutty ass left wing liberals blow just as hard. Oh except you do it with posh and style.

What bubble? I'm only telling you what the owner of the magazine stated to the feature editor who was told to pull the story.

The readers of the magazine are generally mid-west conservatives... that's the demographic. Can you show me where I stated that all mid-wetserners are conservatives or that all conservatives are in the mid-west. [rolleyes]

I'm sorry, another Zoolook must have said it. My bad.
