As CB's libertarian/capitalist pariah, I feel it incumbent on me to point out that many of those dreamers founded new wealthy corporations, e.g., Microsoft, Google, Apple, and there's still plenty of new up and comers like Cinemablend. The dream is still alive and kicking, albeit with the inept, the fearful and the unlucky being left as bloody pulps in the ditches along life's unfair road. I should know. And I wouldn't have had it any other way. |
