157. Between Abramoff, Kenny boy, and DUHbya's manipulation of the system,
I'm starting to see a pattern. Instead of producing anything worthwhile, why not just game the system to maximize wealth and power?

Most of these people strike me as never having done an honest day's work in their lives. Also, the type who go to church/synagogue as if it were a country club, a place to do business with the well-connected.

Never mind that workers could be exploited, average citizens could lose their life savings, or the Constitution could be left in shreds.

Only one criteria is worth considering: What's in it for me?

You've made one helluva splash, Ides. I think you'll find the DU crowd respectfully skeptical and very curious.

I'm wondering just how much of an insider you are...SEC? Justice?
