I think there should be a new category of crime created, a kind of "financial manslaughter", where, if harm is done in ANY kind of business dealing, even if it wasn't specifically against the law at the time, they could be charged with that, and do some quality time in jail. There are just too many scamsters deliberately operating at the edge of the law today. Like the guys that sold the worthless CDS's, thinking they'd never have to pay off. Or the guys that sold the MBS's dusted with subprime mortgages doomed to foreclosure. Yeah but the question I have is... when did that become socially acceptable? I KNOW something happened to the American psyche on 9/11. I know it changed how we think about morality. I KNOW people became unhinged... more prone to the extreme. It was a huge trauma, for everyone in the country, right or left or center or brain dead. It wasn't just the Neo's they couldn't have done their shit if we were not going along. bin Laden beat the USA that day... and he's still beating us. He changed everything and that's our fault. We've turned our rage against each other. Oh well... it was a good run. Shame to lose to a terrorist. Next!
