I couldn't have said it better myself

"How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror."


-V "V for Vendetta"


The Freakanomics Blog says it better than I can

What it boils down to is this: There is plenty of blame to go around for the financial crisis. Now we need to start holding people accountable. The best place to start is in Congress. Despite how they act, they serve us and not the other way around. They are Public Servants. They work for *us* If they don't perform to our satisfaction we have the option of firing them every four years. They do not rule by divine right but by the consent of the people. It's about time we start expressing how much we do or don't consent.

Addendum to my last post

I'm not fond of people trying to divide by class. As if all people of one socioeconomic class are identical. How is that any different from racism?

I am the 100%

I couldn't put this any better myself. I'll post more later after I'm able to coherently transcribe my thoughts into words.
