You know the technician isn't from Comcast because he actually shows up to the repair appointment.

Made this jaded bastard smile.

This made me smile, but I think it's telling that the film implicitly claims that surrender leads to peace, high stock prices lead to prosperity, and a strong currency leads to wealth. None of these fixes would actually work (and indeed they invert causation in the latter two cases). As long as the wealth creation and human conflict are so deeply misunderstood—even, perhaps especially, by those most dedicated to "saving the world"—I suspect many of these problems will get worse before they get better.

I actually shed a tear. I wish Canada was really like this.

Makes you think. I don't believe the ends justify the means, however -- artificially faking the NASDAQ results isn't the answer.<p>But I do like the idea of going out and trying to light a candle instead of cursing the darkness.<p>If I can ever raise the seed money, <a href="http://africafellowship.org" rel="nofollow">http://africafellowship.org</a> is a nonprofit effort I am trying to do to bring the best and brightest minds of the next generation over to Africa to inspire them to want to get active in making the world a better place. (I spent a sumer in Kenyaand it opened my own eyes.)

"If you don't like the news, go out and make some of your own" would fit well here. FWIW, I am not sure who this quote can be attributed to and some Googling didn't help.

I wonder how much could be achieved if random people actually started trying to fix stuff.
