When I was growing up, politics, finance etc. seemed like a lot of useless bullshit; areas for the idiots who were too lazy to work in factories and too stupid to become scientists, engineers, et al.

Guess what?  Given the events over the past 2 weeks, I'm proven right.  The bullshitters are destroying the Mighty Anglo Empires!  Take a bow (now get off stage.)

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

from the comments at that kos diary

Daily Kos: "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness."

It strikes me that the "solution" of throwing a trillion bucks into the Manhattan breeze is about as helpful as sending your alcoholic uncle a case of Tanqueray.

Capitalism searches out the darkest corners of human potential, and mainlines them.
