on the SWT we wondered when the other economic shoe would drop. I am now more firmly convinced that MF Global is that shoe. It seems as if property rights of the individual has been superceeded by the banks and corperations, with the US government's blessing. This cuts to the quick of the capalistic system. As more info comes out about MF Global and our spineless government sides with business, they are cutting open the goose that laid the golden egg.

As the MF Global story unfolds and information leaks out...the smart money will start leaving the system.
