better ideas were also ignored on wall street because there was no profit to be made from them. so what's the difference?

the only real difference is who gets to do the looting and who gets looted. as long as the chamber of commerce types were making out like bandits we never heard a peep from you guys.

oh, and tb, "just because you explain" something doesn't cut it. there is no augmentation to your credibility due to repetition, although i can see how you might derive some comfort from it. we know ahead of time what you're going to say, and why, and shouting it ad nauseam still don't make it so. as a matter of fact, the more you futilely protest the more i'm led to wonder if you even believe it yourself.
