For those of us that lived and laughed through the yuppy 80´s there was a glimpse of US desperation today.
We can all remember the classic film Wall Street, where Michael Douglas "Lunch is for wimps", "It´s all about bucks, the rest is conversation" showed us what capitalism was all about "I bought that building for a million dollars, at that time it was all the money in the world, now it´s just a day´s pay".
As he was campaigning against nuclear testing and trying to focus on this important issue, he was asked by some reporters about the condemnation by certain world leaders of the greed ethic. "Are you saying Gordon that greed is not good?" to which he replied, "I'm not saying that, and my name is not Gordon, it was a character I played 20 years ago"
For those of you who remember, greed was not good for Gordon Gecko, the righteous won over, he ended up in jail......with only the pleasure of giving Charlie Sheen a tap on the chin as compensation.
