Wonder if we should take their salaries and FULL BENEFITS away, because they have been complicit in causing this financial mess.... Alas, the best we can do is get rid of the bums. They'd still get their bennies. Some of the anger we are experiencing today about the AIG thing, is ultimately "fairness" You know what, I'm not really upset about this at all. IMO a contract is a contract. The thing that I am upset about is just how quickly our fearless leaders would try and abandon a couple hundred years of contract law... That's scary. 'Fairness' is a word that's used to justify some of the worst legislation ever written......<g>
