Sounds like the party's over. And it rings true to me that the great howls of outrage at the alleged injustice of the nation treating these banksters with disdain were the screams of a dying breed.

Doesn't matter how smart you are, if you're blinded by greed, you refuse to see the reality of things until it imposes itself on you. Works the same with drugs and alcohol, all depends on what your own personal monkey is.
