Matt Taibbi is a lying piece of shit (link)

131. well, the wife in the story was

Mary Hatch, and the bank was the Bailey Building and Loan.

If you perhaps catch my drift. (and if not, then this should clarify things http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=162723) Although I got the amount wrong. It was $8,000

One of the things about a functioning society, is that all of our systems only work because people do not all use them at the same time.

Our highways only work because everybody is not trying to drive on them at the same time. Our water system only works because everybody does not turn the water on at the same time.

Our banking system only works because everybody does not withdraw their money at the same time.

"you think that they should be shielded from knowing what a crook is running the bank where they are keeping their money? "

It's not about what I think, or my faith or lack thereof in the people, I am responding to what Taibbi wrote. HE was the one who wrote that OBAMA and GEITHNER were trying to keep the financial system from collapsing. HE seems to want them to prosecute instead and damn the torpedoes, who gives a fuck if the financial system collapses, because he demands revenge on the banksters. Well considering that a collapse of the financial system would cause about as much damage, in my opinion, as a global thermonuclear war, I tend to think Obama is perhaps on the right side here, and the moral purist is wrong.
