79. I'm like you....
...and I figured it out long ago as well. Its the reason we have safes in banks and locks on doors -- to keep people honest.

But the Michael Milken scandal which previously brought down Wall Street in the late 80s, with another slick kind of derivative -- THE JUNK BOND -- should have been a clue for Congress to say Hell No!!! But as the representative says in Bill Maher's movie Religulous, "you don't have to take an IQ test to go to Congress."

- And maybe that's where our real problem lies....
