    In short, I believe that Indiana Jones is superior to batman because, it doesn't matter if he’s against Nazis, cultists or Mccarthyist thugs he stands up for what he thinks is right.

Early on, I was told that the working life of an advertising creative lasted only until about age 55; after which you’d better have some savings put away, or start working for a real estate license.
