The same sort of phenomenon was/has been/is present in the credit crisis.  All the experts were saying that investers/borrowers/lenders should show confidence in the credit system: but then, nobody did the noble thing, and everybody ducked back, not wanting to take a hit.  "Leadership," of course, means risking taking a hit, in the knowledge that putting oneself forward is ultimately the right thing to do for the common good.

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.

........ by extolling the virtue of unadulterated arrogance and unbridled avarice.

And all of us have elected a tiny confederacy of intelligent hoarders and super consumers, who have proclaimed themselves Masters of the Universe, to undeserved positions of power and privilege.

.......Great observations.

It appears to me that the agenda of wealthy and powerful people to organize and manage their "trickle down" global economy is all that really matters.

These leaders can be seen raking in multi-million dollar year-end bonuses and celebrating their 2008 'successes' this very month. Here's to the guys in the Zenghas.  Good work, fellows.

Only an idiot could tell such a tale as the one we are witnessing on Wall Street?  As for the people on "main street", I have heard that they will be allowed to eat cake.

Sincerely,

Steve
