Nothing special - just had some free time on my hands and thinking how screwed up the world is. The mere fact that after such hardship and economic debacle all is as usual within the various financial institutions and only Madoff got to jail is very very sad. The fact that the chieftains at BAC, C, GS MS and others of their ilk collect millions in compensation and no one went to jail like Madoff is very saddening - but a man wielding a syringe out of anger will get the death penalty in China - so better the stone age than modern civilization cronyism and corruption is everywhere and it spreads with much "gusto" Waiting to collect some nice profits from FX positions and may be better to retire on a remote island or remote place without internet, electricity etc. and let nature fashion my life – will not worry about the screwed world

The textbook ends with a 40-page chapter — one-ninth of the book — titled “Russia’s New Course” that covers Vladimir Putin’s rule. It includes section headings such as “President V.V. Putin’s Course for Consolidating Society,” “The Renewal of the State” and “Restoring Russia’s Foreign Policy Strength.” Putin is described as achieving spectacular successes in overcoming corruption, prosecuting criminal oligarchs, resolving the country’s demographic problem, building affordable housing and reforming the economy. It is important to note that the chapter on Putin is authored by Pavel Danilin, a presidium member of Young Guard, the pro-Kremlin youth movement. But Danilin failed to mention anything about the shrinking population, the sharp rise in corruption, the increased monopolization and ineffectiveness of the Russian economy, the growing technology gap with other countries and the rise in alcoholism. Yet Danilin did describe at length the eight components of Putin’s “sovereign democracy.” kyivpost.com now what is so different in BHO administration?
