I can't help thinking about what Bin Laden did...or Timothy McVeigh. Were/are they really evil or did they just have enough of the clowns running this country and willing to do something about it? Both attacked government institutions and/or Wall Street. Not in any way condoning what they did, but might be beginning to understand why they did it.

"So true. A ghetto perp robs one person - and gets sent to prison. But if some guy in a suit robs million of people, that well-dressed perp get a golden parachute (or house-arrest in a penthouse, as in Madoff's case). The double-standard is incredibly blatant. But things might eventually get so bad that heads could roll. I mean this literally." The fact that Dick Fuld was punched in the face was a start... I think Bernie Madoff's days would be numbered in single digits if he were not confined with security. It would not surprise me at all if an angry 'investor' gets even with Madoff soon.
