#1 I sent one of my senators an e-mail. Sadly, the other one isn't worth the time it would take to cut and paste.

#2 The bankers and Wall Streeters are setting themselves up for harder times in the near future. This will kill the Trunks ability to argue against Capital Gains Tax because it will be view as nothing more than royalties paid just like miners and loggers pay on working public land, in this case on the public's money. People are going to expect something in return for being treated as nothing more than multi-generational tax serfs for the financially well placed. They're trading the freedom of their future for a further constrained market. It's welfare for the capitalism. We've seen how well welfare evolves and works.

#3 Over the past 24 hours or so, allegedly following conversations with McCain, Newt Gingrich did a 180 degree turn and now supports the bailout. It would appear that the muted responses and mixed messages from McCain and Obama may reflect their knowledge of the pending senate action. I do not think the truths and secret signals of this situation have been shared with the citizens and taxpayers. The smell of acidosis, melana and uremia are strong in the room of Lady Liberty. Thrasymachus was correct when he wrote; "I proclaim that justice is nothing else that the interest of the stronger."

#4 So do I understand this correctly, the noisy, bothersome voters out here are incidental to the process and just an annoyance and nuisance to be tolerated and to take things from and dole things out to?
