Hi Sam,
Wise words about the Sierra Madre. Nice analogy. :)
Re: Craig Goodman, president of the National Energy Marketers Association, called
the Moody's report "very well written but also very frightening."
It's a good thing Goodman doesn't talk to me. I'd tell him my preference is to have a stake driven through the heart of this zombie capitalism as malevolent power marketing lie. No one trusts these scumbags, and for a very good reason. They're all frauds and criminals.
Re: Ray, you were really off base earlier on Robert Douglas. I've known him cyberly for years now. He is a very thoughtful, decent guy.
We are in extraordinary circumstances. His thoughfulness struck me as no better than a apology for some really atrocious corporate malfeasance that we're be forced to endure. How decent is that?

Please take a couple of minute to read what a very intelligent commentator has to say about the evil at the heart of our corrupt system.

Anyone defending the present system is defending the indefensible.
Here's another view. America's heroes, our capitalists are becoming laughingstocks:
REMAINING U.S. CEOs MAKE A BREAK FOR IT
Band of Roving Chief Executives Spotted Miles from Mexican Border
El Paso, Texas (SatireWire.com) — Unwilling to wait for their eventual indictments, the 10,000 remaining CEOs of public U.S. companies made a break for it yesterday, heading for the Mexican border, plundering towns and villages along the way, and writing the entire rampage off as a marketing expense.......

Anyone defending the present system is fair game, as far as I'm concerned. We are on a dangerous course. If the world loses faith in America, as it did in Japan in the early 1990's, we will be in an economic depression and self-initiated war status for the foreseeable future. To me, that's an awful notion. Other lunatics in this nation are lusting to hurl bombs Third World nations while doing nothing to punish the criminal class in charge of our corporations. That's nuts as well as totally unethical and immoral. And dangerous to my pocketbook. |
