1. ouch!
I was listening to air america earlier during Randi Rhodes and the dow jones report said the dow dropped 700 points after the bail out bill failed. I never seen it drop this much in one day.
Thanks alot to Dumbya for this whole mess :puke: cant wait for this nightmare to be over with.

2. Could be the beginning of something good.

Apparently we are incapable of making any moves without some calamity, well here's the first wave.

We still haven't even seen the revolving credit market bust and the truly horrific derivative market is still looming on the horizon.

They fucked it all up and now we get to create it again, hopefully this time we'll use what we learned.

The parasite class, they need us to live, we live much better without them.

5. Ah...

That made me feel SO much better today.

See, for these people, this is one of their first really bad days in awhile. This is normal life for myself and the people I care about.

The sooner everyone GETS IT, the sooner we can stop having days like this.

6. another one

Hint... they are not feeling sorry for US.

they have lost huge stock options that make up their pay.
And many will lose their job.

7. Oh, I'm aware that their pain is entirely selfish
But I'm not picky. Pain makes the status quo questionable. More pain makes it intolerable.

If enough pain happens, change occurs.

I'm not naive enough to think that they want that change- they want us to prop up their bullshit. If we don't do that, though, and the pain continues, then real change might occur.

And pigs might fly, too.
