"There's all kinds of stuff stacked up on docks right now that can't be shipped because people can't get letters of credit," said Bill Gary, president of Commodity Information Systems in Oklahoma City. "The problem is not demand, and it's not supply because we have plenty of supply. It's finding anyone who can come up with the credit to buy."

In Serbia we protested while we thought we can change something. In 1993 when shit hit the fen we were busy trying to survive and we practically stopped protesting (except small groups of people -mostly pensioners- that lost their money in pyramid banks)...
