It's All So Very Wrong ..

My jaw remains open and slackly supported, swinging back and forth somewhere slightly above my knees.

I've watched the day-after-day machinations of Ben Bernanke, Henry Paulson and the US Government over the past three or four weeks as the fragility (and rotting) foundations of the American financial system become exposed, which is dangerous.

It's dangerous because North Americans have become fundamentally used to a sense of their way of life as easy and affordable and nothing was done to change or stop that psychological expectation.

It's that way of life being exposed as fraudulent, or based on false premises.

My jaw remains hanging open because all of this is happening ... being done to the average working taxpayer ... with barely a peep about the plutocratic transfer-of-wealth illegal rape it actually is.

And that vaunted North american way of life won't be recouped or rebuilt easily.
