Exactly! Corzine, his cronies, and everyone involved who perpetrated this horrific crime should receive the same form of justice as Mussolini, his wife, and Gaddafi! -nfg-

The most terrifying part, GZ, is easily imagining that this could happen to you and your family tomorrow!

Imagine learning one morning that most of the money in one of your primary investment accounts has simply disappeared (e.g., was stolen by the likes of a Jon Corzine) and that you have no legal recourse. Meanwhile, Corzine and friends sail off into the tropical sunset with your money, fully protected under the law and defended by his political buddies in Congress who have received kickback from him and his mobster friends.

I received this in the morning's email. Check it out along with accompanying stats from Pew Research. We are in serious trouble. And with Beck's prediction of an Obama victory in 2012 on FOX this morning, we should all be feeling a little nauseous.

<Quote>Can You be Trusted to Vote Intelligently? This is a terrific and incredibly easy 11-question test. And it shows results in a number of ways. It clearly indicates that the majority of Americans don't have a clue about what's going on in the world. No wonder our politicians take such advantage of us. It's astonishing that so many people got less than half right. These results say that 80% of the (voting) public doesn't have a clue, and that's pretty scary.

There are no tricks here - just a simple test to see if you are current on your information. This is quite good and the results are shocking.

I believe it was Winston Churchill who opined that " . . . the biggest argument against democracy is a 5-minute conversation with the average voter . . ."

Test your knowledge with 11 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did!

Re: "MF Global is one of the most outrageous and brazen abuses of customers by Wall Street insiders that I have ever seen."

Yes it is.

(And I'm sure that the purposeful, near-complete lack of regulation of Hedge funds played no part in the ability of the fraudsters to perpetrate their thefts. After all, markets are ALWAYS best with no regulation other than 'self-regulation'. <g>)
