I've picked mine. While I'm naming myself the judge, yes I'm a dictator, you can submit your submissions and I'll be fair and honest.

BREWTECH While I absolutely agree with what you are implying Mamboni (I really do), I can't help but come to the conclusion that what the soldier was doing and what Monsieur Dimon represents serve the exact same purpose, in the end.

For most honest working folks, it takes many days to earn $646.00 (about a week on avg?)

Take a star major league baseball pitcher with a $9 mil/yr contract. Somebody might correct my math for me, but I figured it takes me 4-5 days (when I'm working) to earn the money he gets paid every time he throws the ball to the plate in a game.

If you want to make a boatload of money these days, steer clear of honest, useful work. It just don't pay.
