well this post really made me think.
Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine - Elvis Presley

Not offices and bureaucrats, but big business deserves credit for the fact that most of the families in the United States own a motorcar and a radio set. - Ludwig von Mises
i saw he was in a philosophy movie a few years ago with Slavoj Zizek. Examined Life.
