The current one shows rather boxy buildings, and doesn't look too, err, colorful. This night-shot of the world's most capitalist territory, Hong Kong, would be ideal. We would just need to downsize it and cut the uncessary bits out. -------------------- "Do not confuse altruism with kindness, good will and respect for the rights of others...The irreducible primary of altruism is self-sacrifice-which means: self-immolation, self-abnegation, self-denial, self-destruction-which means: the self as a standard of evil, the selfless as a standard of the good" -Ayn Rand, in Philosophy: Who Needs It, "Faith and Force, the Destroyers of the Modern World, p 85.

How about a quote contest to see what quote we'll add to it? I like Ludwig Von Mises, but I know there are better ones out there... -------------------- I am the night watchman; Obstating Principii while you sleep

And if I may, I would like to create my own quotes: "As we have seen over the past 200 years, man can do amazing thing beyond his own boundaries. Capitalism is the only system that provides him an incentive to do so, whether it be greed, envy, or selfishness." "Over the past two centuries, would've man tried to better his life if it weren't profitable?" "If capitalism is the evil system of exploitation and slavery, why is it that man lives so much better now than he did 200 years ago?" So as you can see, most of them relate to the past 200 years, when capitalism evolved. -------------------- "Do not confuse altruism with kindness, good will and respect for the rights of others...The irreducible primary of altruism is self-sacrifice-which means: self-immolation, self-abnegation, self-denial, self-destruction-which means: the self as a standard of evil, the selfless as a standard of the good" -Ayn Rand, in Philosophy: Who Needs It, "Faith and Force, the Destroyers of the Modern World, p 85.

I would have gladly done it had I been around a couple of months ago. Been very busy with my university work as of late I'm afraid. -------------------- http://www.darkreavers.co.uk http://www.darkreavers.co.uk/forums
