Default Thought for the Day

The central belief of every moron is that he is the victim of a mysterious conspiracy against his common rights and true deserts. He ascribes all his failure to get on in the world, all of his congenital incapacity and damfoolishness, to the machinations of werewolves assembled in Wall Street, or some other such den of infamy.
- H. L. Mencken, 1936

It has been 81 years since the start of the last "Great Depression", does anyone think regulators are going to "fix" things in the next 81 years or have they had enough time yet?

What's to fix? Capitalism is not perfect. It swings back and forth like a pendulum. It is "end of the world" senarios like the Great Depression and this "Great Recession" that make patient men rich. JMHO. I do like your quotes and articles...keep em coming.
