i remember one of the Faces of Death snuff videos where the street bums were yelling “Jump, jump” at some guy. he did, bounced really nice when he hit. when the TV crew got there it was “We tried hard to stop him”. yeh, rite. real heros.
Radical question that will get me on somebody’s watchlist: Will the citizenry ever really get to the point of outright revolt where they drag bankers, politicians, etc into the streets? I don’t think so, but it is worrisome.
They have too much security these days; probably for just that reason.More’s the pity; makes it hard for honest Canadians to get close enough to throw a pie at them. Of course, Rick Mercer DID get close enough to Dubya (in the campaign for his first term) to ask Mr. Bush’s what he thought of our Prime Minster Jean Poutine’s endorsement of his campaign.
The 2008 crash wasn’t the banker’s fault. They were just doing what bankers do. They couldn’t help themselves. They were just like dogs rolling in a pile of dead catfish. It’s what dogs do. And it was Congress that threw them the dead catfish when they approved the derivatives bill at the behest of their lobbyist masters.
That kind of slime never jumps when they’re ahead of the game and making tons of money. When we start putting them in jail and taking away their money and power and privilege they will start the jumping process.
Only jump once you join hands with all the other Fortune 500 CEOs and all their yes men, and all those little MBA mismanagement experts, and agree to join the same mile high fall club.

Recent polls have shown that bankers now rank even lower than lawyers.

He’s probably ‘too big to fall’.And even if he does, the Republicrats will be sure to see to it that the taxpayers provide a safety net for him.
