Looks like some tropical moisture is being drawn up from Mexico... lots of clouds in the sky and its currently 85 degrees. That means its going to be a humid day. Think I will stay inside and keep cool...
Hey... how about that Madoff sentence? 150 years for a 71 year old person. If they think that will be a deterrent to others who will bilk people, I think they have it all wrong. Humans will figure out a way to swindle each other. Greed seems to be part of what it means to be a human. I think society has to rethink what it means to be successful. I remember seeing t-shirts with "The one with the most toys wins." printed on them... and grown people were wearing them. That attitude is part of the reason why our country is in this economic depression. If there is a basic flaw in Capitalism, it is its failure to take into account and deal with greed. Human history is filled with tales of greedy people and the harm they have done. Sigh.... I'm sounding like a postmodernist....
