Victor: I remember being in Japan at the height of their manic period -- groups of young girls in new chaufeur-driven Mercedes would cruise Roppongi wearing fur coats -- they would sometimes roll down their windows and lean out slightly and say "why don't you come in here and join us". Spectacular asset appreciation always seems to create the same impact -- a loss of all sense of proportion, a sense of superiority, a sense that you are wealthy because you are smart and a sense that the party will never end -- it is like everybody is 18 and drunk, and nothing can hurt you ever again, there are no limits -- everybody is rich and getting richer by the minute. So they climb into cars and drive off at 100 mph -- nothing can harm them, nothing. Then it ends, a firey car wreck leaves them torn and bloody, some are are left for dead, and a somber mood settles over the society that can last for years and years. And in this morbid aftermath, nobody wants to wear fur or have group sex with rich young girls in the back of an expensive anymore -- except HJ :)
