Ben Bernanke...



....and Alan Greenspan, as *professionals*, were not allowed to participate!

I especially chuckled at the screaming, *bubble within a bubble* analogy.

It is somewhat surreal these days, to look about and see people still making highly leveraged investments in over-priced stocks, bonds, and real estate, still squandering all their *home equity* for their brats' useless college education, and still scurrying around in much the same manner that they always did. And, not to pick on the lumpen masses....note that *governments* have also been recidivating.

Last year's financial meltdown wasn't simply a one-off event.

Unfortunately, the end-of-the-worlders will eventually (soon?) have their day.

This economy will prove a giant GLUE TRAP for many!

When I first cracked open Our Oriental Heritage and saw the Egyptians were wise enough to pull the same statist stunts back then that statists pull now... I realized some things will never, ever change.
