Nothing Important

It's Sunday. I've been waiting for something, anything to come up, something to write about.

Aside from wars, genocides, attacks, terrorism, the NFL, and new movies -- well, what's there to write about?

Nothing new -- just the same old, same old --- financial collapse (global, local, and national), violent storms (none dare call it 'global warming'), signs of insane greed, creeping poverty, and the total lack of historical knowledge shown by the entire population of the USA -- well, there's nothing to write about.

Madoff's "scheme" totals about three years worth of "conventional" robberies, larcenies, and thefts. But - but - but - it's "white collar crime" -- so what?

Even though it seems quite a few folks really don't "feel sorry" for the rich folks he fleeced -- in spite of the fact they were his "friends" (what a bummer that is) -- the fact he may well have destroyed any lingering trust folks had in the ENTIRE financial sector must be taken into consideration.

I think I'll get some silica gel, coffee cans, and a good shovel.
