Very tenuously P: London marches and revolt

I don't accept this premise.  "We" cannot  gamble  our businesses  
deep into debt and get bailed out. "We" did not dismantle the limits  
on usury. "We" did not create a system of predatory lending.  Does  
your life depend on borrowing money from Citi Bank or the  
continuation of Goldman Sachs or AIG.  MIne doesn't.    "They" tell  
us again and  again every day in many ways that this is "our" economy  
and they are always lying.

There are alternatives, from the subtle to the radical and all the  
smart people and all the ethical people are pushing for taking over  
insolvent banks  and more serious regulatory reforms.  We need to  
listen to the people who saw this coming like Roubini, Nomi Prins,  
and serious ethical  economists like Stiglitz, Krugman, Galbraith,  
etc. and look at other models like northern Europe, Japan.

Predatory usury , war , and borrowing is not a sound economic model.  
The more" They" prop it up the more suffering will result.

I cheer and applaud the people on the streets in London.   I don't  
want to eat the bankers. I just want to ease them into the nice safe  
penal colonies they have built to protect us from violent crime and  
theft, and return their money to its rightful owners.
