listen up

The Interview on BBC is almost always worth listening to, but listening to Jordan Belfort, a Wall Street trader who used his entrepreneurial flair to defraud millions of dollars, just might give a bit of insight as to why the wealthy of America, and their minions in government, are so out of control. Not because of the rampant drug use which Belfort describes (though may that does go on also), but because of their attitude that they are somehow different from the rest of us, and so are allowed to act in ways different from the masses, ways that "might otherwise" be considered immoral (at best).

Fair warning: it's a half hour long, so I dont suppose many will have the patience to sit through it, especially since he's still a bit self-righteous about his behavior. Even so, The Interview really ought to be a weekly experience for you.
