folks shall re-learn the makings of revolution and unlearn rule-of-law-by-making-up-laws, as the law-making machinery has gone rogue

I don't blame people for being angry at banks. I am angry at banks every day. Ever since the financial crisis began in 2007, I have spent all day, every day, looking at crazy mortgages and trying to save people's houses, or counseling them to let go. I will say this, though. Pretty much all of the companies that wrote the crazy mortgages have gone under, and the crazy mortgages were transferred to bigger banks, that did not actually write them. I am finally seeing a significant number of loan modifications. Unfortunately they are not reducing principal, only lowering interest rates and stretching them out over a longer term. But I am angrier at other financial institutions, like payday lenders, car title lenders, and rent-to-own lenders, that target subprime borrowers. If the protesters only knew how relatively clean the banks actually are.

the differences between "left" and "right" tends to become less discernible whenever the cities starts burning, is my take, and that the cities shall burn, i am sure. i am unsure of the timing. i think between 7-15 years. i guess i can be surprised. i hope there is much time remaining to aggregate still. today we go offsite with the extended family and family friends to celebrate a bunch of october birthdays, and the kids shall see halloween fireworks at the smallish hk disney world, play queue-free on rides and such. we shall fit in a dinner and a brunch some time. son jack, 13 months young, is apparently readying to dig yesterday he attended his sister's birthday party as the only boy amongst 9 girlz all 2 and 3rd graders intent on making treats out of chocolate this morning jack broke into the fridge when no one was watching and got to the extra chocolate sprinkles - the telltale signs were (i) sprinkles were all over the floor stretching from the refrigerator to the coffee table, and (ii) a few sprinkles on jack's face we discipline jack by placing him on time-out pot, but he no longer cares.
