“Additionally, in a situation where more than half of the world trade takes place within corporations rather than between them and their external customers (Tax Justice Network, 2005), there may well be no ‘market price’ for many of the goods and services in question” (Cairns and Sliwa). 

That quote sounds like either a really bad B-movie or a really good book; it kind of scares me that it’s reality. 

My favorite line from any of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies is actually from the bloopers of the first one.  I just found out that it is actually homage to Benny and Joon.

I just watched Benny and Joon for the first time.  I love this movie.  Lots.

I am now 22.  ^_^

"Today, I was going through customs, and a very scary official decided to search my bag. When he found my teddy bear, he proceeded to amuse himself by making it growl and attack me. I am now much less intimidated by customs officials. MLIA."

"Today, I was at a four way stop sign and another car got there at the same time as me. I waved for him to go, then he waved for me to go. We both sat there for a few seconds and then put our hands out the window to rock-paper-scissors for it. I won. MLIA"

"Today, I was babysitting a three-year-old. While we were eating ice cream, I told her she was very mature. She asked what it meant, and I told her it means she acts older than she is. She told me not to speak with my mouth full. MLIA "

"Today my brother baked cookies. He put them on the counter to cool and then accidentally fell asleep while waiting. My whole family ate them all while he was asleep and then we convinced him he dreamt baking the cookies. He believed us. MLIA"

"Today I found a crayon called "Your Grandma's Fake Plastic Plant". I know what my new favorite color is. MLIA "  [[Also, can I have that job?  I really want the job of naming crayons.  Like, A LOT.]]

"Today, my friend told me he had to go reverse puke. I was disgusted until I realized that that would just be eating. MLIA"

"Today, I met a cardiologist named Lauri Pepper. I just now realized that her title would be Dr. Pepper. It made my week. MLIA"

"Today, I drove around with my windows down blasting the Harry Potter theme song. Throughout the time it took to drive from work to my house I got 6 thumbs up, caused 3 people to wave around fake conductor's batons, and received innumerable nods and smiles. This is going to become a daily thing. MLIA."

"Today was the first day of the school year. In three out of four classes, we went over class rules and safety regulations. In chemistry, we lit a gummy bear on fire. I know who the fun teacher is. MLIA"
