I had a friend who worked for Bear Sterns and she was more nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. I don't doubt that it was all very predictable. Human nature being what it is, how could this not have happened? Absolute power corrupts absolutely. People are always talking on and on about where the good people in politics are and who is protecting us up in Washington. What they don't seem to understand is that for every one good person fighting the good fight, there are twenty people standing on their back. I'm fairly certain that politicians do not deserve $100,000 salaries. When I watch CNN, I cringe as the camera pans the virtually empty room. It's no wonder why we are where we are. I just hope someone with a larger voice than mine can do something about it.

Last night, as I fell asleep, I was visualizing a gaggle of people lying in the park beneath the Washington monument. Each person would hold a posterboard with one word on it, forming a letter to our government telling them we aren't going to take it anymore. Since, ya know writing in individually to our congressmen does so much good! /sarcasm less
