Actually it may really be this time. No one really knows. Capitalism is really based on greed for money, there are no ethics for capitalists. Unfortunately, this is also true for socialists, they have greed for power,and they have no ethics either. Everything ought be about balance, but there are no scales. Arguably this should be the governments job, but government has been for many years, turning into a big wad of corruption (of many types), and has declined morally, ethically, and professionally. As for the media, it is both smarter about some things and incredibly stupid about others. In short, it is also turning into the same stinking mass as the government. We may be approaching another time where revolution is inevitable and all the risks that this radical development entails...that is, if the sky is really falling. The sky is falling!

And while the signs have been there for a long time, ignored by many, I don't think the media, Wall Street, or the administration is playing to the public's stupidity. They are attempting to avoid the kind of sickening spiral downward that happens when everyone panics enough to rush the banks, brokers, and bastions of business. Let's keep our wits about us. Melanie Drea,

Where was the American public when the foundations of our prosperity were quietly dismantled and shipped overseas, and our learned economists told us that this would make our economy "more efficient" even as our trade deficits set record after record and consumer credit card debt spiralled out of control? Where were all these smart readers when special interests persuaded their political leaders that deregulation would free up latent entrepreneurial energies and lead to unprecedented economic growth? And then after the S&L Crisis, and Enron/Arthur Anderson, and Tyco and on & on, where were these brilliant readers of yours when the country was clearly returning to the robber baron era of corrupt megacorporate leadership? And where were they when the same fraudulent lending practices that led to the S&L Crisis where once again in force over-inflating the current real estate credit bubble, while a corrupt Washington administration was misleading us into a $3 Trillion dollar war in Iraq while Al Qaeda was regrouping in the mountains of Pakistan? I think that the evidence is overwhelming & quite damning: these readers of yours are IDIOTS. They are sheep who are easily herded into the slaughterhouse holding pens, which is where they are right now, and while many of them have already been sheared of large chunks of their acquired wealth (while their shepherds are busy checking their golden parachutes), many more are destined to become the lamb chops of Globalism. Yes, the corporate media are wise to mince their words, lest they cause a stampede before the shepherds have all made their "rescue" deals, and handed their final bills to, you guessed it, your readers. Wow! I'm really impressed by their obvious intelligence. Unfortunately, the media is quite correct in assessing that most of its readers ARE stupid.
