While the Little People in America are getting their asses kicked by this economy, we have the specter, or should I say spectacle, of Wall Street and now Detroit coming to the tax payers for a bail-out. A sobering look at hubris, I highly urge one and all to check out Thomas L. Friedman's piece, All Fall Down. The "unabashed (smirking) complicity of the upper class of American capitalism..." says it all.
The Big Boys ask, "Where's the love, America?" I have to answer, "Where's the shame?"
During China's Cultural Revolution, the capitalistas were paraded before jeering crowds with dunce caps and bound hands or had to stand in public reciting their "crimes" and asking forgiveness. No doubt, a harsh response. But at what point are the Masters of the Universe going to get a clue? They should at least say, "We're sorry." And mean it.
