Now we'll be treated to endless utterances like, "What a senseless act of violence," "We can never really know why." Yes we can, if only, but humans never possessed the courage to look in an accurate mirror. [REFER.]

After all, you don't want Sarah Palin to be President, do you!?!?!?!?!?

JackRiddler wrote:Sociopathic behavior is systemic to the financial industry. It is expected, rewarded, required, celebrated. This goes from the long-haired mortgage sharks conning NINJAs into the meatgrinder for the subprime scams all the way to the gold-cufflinked bulletheads settling quadrillions in derivative bets on shit they don't even own at the BIS soiree in Zurich. Occasionally the sociopathy is acknowledged and praised for being sociopathic, as such. (See, among countless other examples, Enron traders laughing about California Grandma's electric bill as a result of "Death Star," or the Goldman e-mails to and from Patrice "The Fabulous Fab" Fabre.) The resulting failures are almost never punished, and in fact also usually rewarded, the very occasional indictments of people far below the top levels notwithstanding.
If you were insufficiently sociopathic and you didn't make as much money as the trader at the next desk over: Fuck you.

Nothing would serve the purposes of the Powers That Be better than channeling the people's anger at the eminently expendable front man Barack Hussein Obama. Dumping him and replacing him with another pawn from their large and superficially diverse stable would only reinforce the fatal illusion that American citizens have an actual say in the running of their own country.

Thank You, Alice.
