My constant refrain is, ‘Arrest them all’. The art of banking is a difficult high-wire act. One has to balance the books, balance the future with the past, savings with lending, sober care has to be taken when playing with money. For the gravest of dangers are all internal, not external. The bankers and investment houses all have to deal with the deadliest dangers of them all: internal greed and internal lust. Since the people in charge of money are in a position of seemingly limitless powers, they have to hedge this with many restraints and punishments. Or they will become criminals.
Temptation is a queer thing. From earliest childhood, we are tempted by many things. Mothers must work most strenuously to charge children with curbing their desire to do bad things. These ‘bad things’ vary with every culture and society. But all societies have their taboos. The religious books of all types are filled with instructions and prohibitions. These are often quite whimsical and even disgusting. I’m certain reader can visualize a few without much effort.
Back to arresting all the bankers: our entire banking system from top to bottom is in the process of collapsing. This collapse appears to be nearly universal. The more money involved, the more likely the bank or investment house is bankrupt. The bigger they are, the worse they are and the more responsible they are for this collapse! All of them did exactly the same thing: they lied. They cooked up a series of swindles that are still unfolding. No swindle is more dangerous or worse than the entire Derivatives Beast con jobs.
The entire political and educational system supported these swindles. These strange and obviously dangerous and stupid schemes were promoted, protected and expanded by one and all. Any observer years ago who was not part of the system
could plainly see that these things were swindles.

Since we're playing the "sixth degrees of Kevin Bacon" with Obama/Rez/Ayers/Blago, I wonder who this guy "pals around with" ? Is he a Republican? I bet he is!
