The Dow seems to like this but I personally don't like it at all. I guess we can kiss the free market goodbye. Hell some of these banks didn't want to be bailed out, didn't need to be bailed out and the government said FU, we are doing it anyway. Lets see, we own auto companies and banks I suppose oil is next:( CNNMoney.com U.S. to buy into top banks Tuesday October 14, 9:24 am ET By Chris Isidore, CNNMoney.com senior writer The federal government announced an extraordinary and historic investment in the nation's banks early Tuesday - the biggest bet ever made with taxpayer dollars on the U.S. financial system.

Is it impolite to say for those folks who say or feel this way, that they can go back to the Africa of their ancestors, and make it into a thriving civilization of some sort. It seems to me the only country in Africa that has really had a history of centuries of a civilization that has at least fed its people, at least sometimes, is Egypt. Are there major fields of fruits, vegetables, grain, meat etc in every country grown for the millions of people who live there? Is there some form of government to assure that millions of people aren't killed by domestic terrorists every few years? Is there some form of government that assures there are medicines and medical supplies for their people when they need them? How about schools for the millions of children? Are there colleges in every country in Africa? What new industries are created there in Africa? How about housing...do the millions of people that live in Africa have adequate housing? Sewers? Fresh water piped into houses? Electricity for everyone? And a myriad of other things needed for a stable civilization. For the folks who don't like it here in America, let them go to other garden spots of the world, and see what they can do there.....some of these folks don't seem happy here, so maybe we could give them a one way ticket to Africa. "According to Warfield-Coppock, these American values “have confused African American people and oriented them toward American definitions of achievement and success and away from traditional African values.”
