I understand your position. And yes the gov’t made this look like a win-win. Those who took the time to look beyond the glow, saw it for the scheme it was, but those individuals were few and far between. Only hind-sight is 20-20! So, to your point, you are correct.

But I am also correct, and this is where I am coming from.

There are always choices. Sometimes choosing right means choosing the losing position, but keeping integrity. That is what is wrong with society right now. We keep falling for the lie that there are degrees to right and wrong. In fact, choosing wrongly, is choosing to be not right. That’s all there is to it. Yes, hard to live at times, but always possible. Even for banks.

Watching this country go down the tubes on a bed of excuses and “it’s not my fault” is getting painful. We, WE ALL, have not safeguarded our society and now we are losing it. I’m tired of pretending that I haven’t noticed and that eventually everything will work out. No. It won’t. Not until WE ALL decide to be honest and truthful, instead of “parsing,” “walking back,” and “cherry picking.”

“Let your yea be yea.”

Were you put through the same hazing process when you were new? I mean, the first few times someone said “noob” it was sorta funny, in a kind of sad and pathetic sort of way, but the funny part is gone.

You've been here *two weeks* and think you've arrived?

Especially with copybook class-baiting screeds?

People here from 2003-2004 are still considered n00bs.

Cheers!

Oh cool, so that means you're in the same boat as I am!

I got a picture of me shaking hands with Patrick Knowlton in 1998, would that be enough street cred for you?

By the way, it just came out today that there's another $1.2 trillion in bailouts that went to the big Wall St. banks (Citigroup, BAC, Morgan Stanley) before TARP that has been kept secret all this time.

No.

In God We Trust: all others but Jim Robinson and Sarah Palin pay cash.

Cheers!

No, not exactly.

I've earned the right to speak and to be listened to.

You still need to get upright in the water before attempting to throw your ballast about:

Cheers!

With all due respect, that’s an insane method of choosing what to listen to and what not to listen to. It practically guarantees you will be the last to know anything important.
