3. Indeed. Why do we turn on each other instead of railing against the powers that be?
Why didn't we surround the supreme court with pitchforks and torches when they stuck us with boosh? But these dumb AIG execs, THOSE poor fools we want to lynch. Crazy.

5. I'm not sure what your point is
You should probably focus your anger on those who enabled the bonuses to be paid...members of the Executive & Legislative branches of the federal government who didn't block it when they had the chance, and/or the individuals at AIG who authorized the company to become a party to those contracts.

Let's face it (and be honest) - if you worked at AIG and the company wanted to hand you a check for $1.5 million, you wouldn't turn it down, especially if it was written into a contract you signed with the company nearly a year ago. It's always easy to take the high road with someone else's money.
