Bail Out

So.
It appears that the American Experiment isn't working. At least not the economic side of things. I am by no means an economist, but I can see the merit of trying out this experiment of free-market capitalism. The problem is that we aren't really trying that. Politics and mafia-movie-style pressure from corporations make us just as susceptible to the downfalls of any other economic system. When we venture from pure capitalism, we ruin the experiment. Oh well, I think Stephen Colbert put it very aptly...



"Screw or be screwed" - it's the Darwinism of economics. If I screw up, I'll just put the screws to the screwballs in charge, so I can screw more people later.

SCREW IT!

Cory! Welcome back to the blogosphere. That video is hilarious.

Here is my response, sort of. It's more just my thoughts on the matter than it is an actual response, really.

May all your screws be well placed, and those who would screw you be too afraid to leave their trees.
