I was thinking this morning about how people were suspicious of Madoff long before he was exposed as a fraud. A few tried to speak up but most were silent because common knoledge was that he was a genius and those being deceived were happy to be deceived. By the time he was exposed, thousands of people were hurt and billions were lost.
Here is the challange. Compare and contrast Madoff with the global warming crowd. Estimate how many people will be hurt and the economic impact. (Extra credit for sources)
This meant to be fun but also a source for people to write letters to the editor, blog, argue, etc.
