2. It would be nice to drink Hannity's kool aid and

know exactly who the bad people are, life would be so much easier.

3. Even if your perception in the mortgage crisis is that...

fault lies on an equal basis, the results speak volumes: those at the bottom end of the economic spectrum get tossed out on the street, those at the top end of the economic spectrum receive bailout $$$ to allow for continued operation.

Therein lies the truth of our capitalistic system.

4. What about those people who bought a house

and then lost their job? Are they to blame for not foreseeing that they were going to lose the job?

5. Or they get sick

Today's news describes yet another study noting how often illness and medical expenses drive people into financial hardship. Researchers surveyed 128 recently-foreclosed households in four states. They found that medical bills were a factor in 23 percent of home foreclosures. Overall, illness and injury contributed to about half of the foreclosures examined.

6. Apparently, there were no start-ups or independent inventors prior to the explosion of the financial

services industry in the last 30 years. People who buy this line suffer from either a poor memory or lack of imaginative capacity.

9. It really ticks me off when people blame the poor for the economic crisis.

I know someone who, like Hannity, believes it was all due to sub-prime borrowers and he simply will not budge from his position no matter how much information you give him to the contrary. Like Barney Frank says it is exactly like talking to a table because facts do not penetrate these people's minds.

It is good that Fox viewers got a dose of truth in this interview with Michael Moore. Who knows if it will penetrate into their deluded brains but we can hope so.
