>> We are such a country of wimps now.

We are. But some politician made that statement a few months ago and was about run out of DC on a rail. Can't remember who it was.

BP is a very easy target in this thing. People are calling for criminal prosecutions when there is not one bit of evidence a crime was committed (some nitwit on Fox News the other night said, "Well, it was a crime against NATURE!". Frank Luntz didn't have the good sense to point out that we don't try people for crimes against nature.)

Mean old corporations.

Its very difficult to stand strong in a country so badly divided as this country is. Until you walk in someone else's shoes, its best to stay quiet.

One other point.......I am unclear what you mean by a GS rescue fund. I suspect you feel that GS should be penalized for their bad behavior.

Having said that, what have you done to help the matter? Have you contacted your R reps and told them to hang GS? I am curious.
