Thousands March in 3-Day Showdown with Banking Industry By Kari Lydersen, AlterNet. Posted October 28, 2009. "Tired of bailouts and fat paychecks for those that created the economic catastrophe, marchers made clear demands to tame an out-of-control financial system." The greedy fatcats got used to their good pay-offs (thefts is a better term) and decided it could last forever. We all know that nothing lasts forever and the French Revolution should never have to be repeated. An uprising would not bring out the guillotines today. People don't lose their physical lives but they are in danger of losing their political and professional lives as well as their reputations for trust.

Unlike Madoff who did not represent as large a system to fall and affect as many people as some of these banks with their millions of credit card customers and loan recipients. When a business is so big that the government fears allowing it to collapse for fear of the impact on the nation's economy, and the government (i.e. the taxpayers who are already giving them too large a proportion of their salary (after all, they are not a religion and do not deserve a tithe, do they?)are getting more and more upset at the return to Feudal systems while Republican fringes keep screaming at the Democrats for getting us into this economic mess. It would seem that, with that kind of short memory, Republicans need to start posting reminders around themselves as occupational therapist teach those with beginning Alzheimer's to do so they won't forget the important stuff.
Meanwhile we keep hearing about the armed militias and noises of people, like Texas, who wish to secede, as well as stories of other discontent. We can only hope that there won't be more Timothy McVeys
