AC Flyer, Re: You've captured my feelings about much of investment banking exactly. The sooner the American public vomits all over the Street, the sooner we'll have a decent recovery. Unfortunately for most retail investors and the nation, the cure may be fatal. Re: Any company where talk of ripping someone's face off is part of the lexicon is a menace to society. I do not understand how the guy that Partnoy quoted could sleep at night. This dysfunctional culture has elevated the sociopath to the highest ranks. successunlimited.co.uk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Re: . I rationalize my actions as the invisible hand of capitalism, forcing my US competitors to become more efficient. How convenient, having a culturally acceptable pseudo-religion to rationalize behavior. This goal of efficiency is anti-human. But you knew that. <smile> The difference between a bare knuckles capitalist and a mixed economy visionary like me is the difference between brutal efficiency at the cost of human degradation versus relative inefficiency balanced with compassion to achieve a goal of a well balanced less neurotic society. What they don't talk about on CNBC is that there is an increasing neurosis/psychosis to the business ethos that is anathema to the human spirit. -Ray
