Oceans 13 today.
All the casino owners? Bad. The owner of the manufacturing plant down in Mexico? Bad. Any person with any kind of authority? Stupid. The guy who writes about whether or not you'll enjoy your stay? Also stupid, but apparently deserves a consolation prize.
Sure, some of this is necessary just for the plot to work. What I am wondering is how often do we get that message? Has the idea of ownership been trashed in this country? Now, I don't mean consumption, I mean owning capital goods, a business, etc... Hey, money, cars, jets, and almost everything else is just fine for the thieves after all.
I wonder if this is that great line in the sand between anarchy and libertarianism. If you believe in private property, you must believe in some sort of authority. The owner has authority over his own property. Any further authority would derive from there, as evidenced by the fact that originally you had to be a landowner in this country to vote.
