Addicted to plastic

There is a show on Australian ABC tonight called "Addicted to Plastic" - I thought it would be a look at the extent of credit card usage, but upon reading the description .... no, it's actually about Plastic!"

This is the description:
"An eye-opening documentary that investigates what's really known about plastic - the material of a thousand uses - and why there's so much of it. This film tells of a worldwide waste and toxic legacy, and introduces the men and women dedicated to cleaning up the global mess caused by plastic. Filmed over three years in 12 countries on five continents, including two trips to the middle of the Pacific Ocean where plastic debris accumulates, this documentary looks at solutions to plastic pollution. Addicted To Plastic details plastic's path over the last 100 years and includes expert interviews on practical and cutting edge solutions to recycling, toxicity and biodegradability. These solutions provide a hopeful perspective about our future with plastic".

I think I'll watch Medium or Private Practice instead! (I have an exam today so giving myself a night off from study afterwards).

The International

I went and saw "The International" yesterday. There was a line in the movie that really struck me. I'm not getting it exactly right, and it didn't make the memorable quotes section in IMDB, but it was basically: "The bank's goal is for everyone, whether a nation or an individual, to be slaves to debt".
