I ran across this in my reading tonight and I thought it did a good job of describing the role of the short sellers who seem to always get shafted by many on this thread:

Bears can make money only if the bulls push up stocks to where they are overpriced and unsound.
Bulls always have been more popular than bears in this country because optimism is so strong a part of our heritage. Still, overoptimism is capable of doing more damage than pessimism since caution tends to be thrown aside.
To enjoy the advantages of a free market one must have both buyers and sellers, both bulls and bears. A market without bears would be like a nation without a free press. There would be no one to criticize and restrain the false optimism that always leads to disaster.
