[EFerrari]

12. No, it wasn't. I agree with you.

Wall Street must be very happy but, maybe they always are.

14. Daddy, I'm scared!

There's a man on TV who speaks in whole sentences, pronounces words correctly, and holds himself accountable his mistakes and those of the people who report to him.

Daddy, what does this mean for our dumbed-down, pass-the-blame society?
