I'm fine with "Getting Out Of The Way". After all, would YOU want Bernie Madoff to be teaching a class on "Ethics"?

Amen brother. Let's go back to the teens and twenties when it was still ok to throw labor organizers in jail and kill striking workers. That will get the proletariat back in line so we can return to the business of making the rich richer.

Good advice for some, irrelevant to others and often misinterpreted by many more.

Identifying the activities that caused the peril is easy in some instances and nearly impossible in others.

Ooooo! That is an interesting question but it has already been stated in the past that the policies of the Bushs' made companies fail, not the practices of the owners.

An interesting article, for the most part I think pretty accurate. However I think he's being too polite mentioning the word "morons" only once. I also think he's supposition about how things that are broken can be fixed by a coming together of the "middle" at the expense of the lunatic fringe is unduly optimistic. I'm beginning to suspect that America is too broken to be fixable. At least without major socio/politico/economic upheaval.

Allow me to summarize the blog:

I yearn for the days of old when people worked hard and leave it to beaver was popular. If we just bring that show back and it's values we'd be winners!
