From Mogambo... That things are heading for doom was even at the meeting of the Berkshire Hathaway people in Omaha, which produced this memorable quote from Buffett's sidekick, Munger, who said "The present era has no comparable referent in the past history of capitalism. We have a higher percentage of the intelligentsia engaged in buying and selling pieces of paper and promoting trading activity than in any past era. A lot of what I see now reminds me of Sodom and Gomorrah. You get activity feeding on itself, envy and imitation. It has happened in the past that there came bad consequences." 321gold.com

Lugar & Co. can't even stand up to the Bolton Nomination...They have NO BALLS (I mean courage)...How could they ever do what the courageous Republicans did in the early 70s when they moved to hold hearings on the President's conduct and actively discussed impeachment...? Some folks think Bush, Cheney and Rove may have commited crimes that are far worse than WaterGate...Yet, you don't hear the GOP controlled CONgress ever try to hold the Executive Branch accountable...What kinda Democracy do we really have right now...?
