Our Memories a WAY too short!! Remember the savings and loan bust? www.brasschecktv.com/page/411.html Throughout its second term, the Bush administration actively interfered with states that attempted to enforce their own state lending laws. Bush & Co. used the Office of the Controller of the Currency to sue states like New York to stop them from going after predatory lenders. Bush Jr. is not the first Bush to get "hands on" involved in shaping the lending industry to his will. Many know that one of this brothers, Neil, was part of a spectacular Savings & Loan failure in the 1980s. What far fewer people are aware of is how deeply the CIA, organized crime and, George Bush Sr. were involved in the Savings & Loan disaster which caused US taxpayers and estimated trillion dollars plus. The term of art for these kinds of operations is a "bust out." The scam works as follows: an organized crime group takes over a business, borrows as much as it can in the business' name, fails to pay vendors and then disappears with all the cash. The Bush family and its associates in organized crime and the CIA have figured out how to run this scam on a multi-hundred billion dollar level using the entire US banking system as its playground. When you consider that Reagan was probably out of it from Day One of his term and that Bill Clinton is a close associate of George Bush Sr., the Bush crime syndicate has been influencing when not outright running the executive branch continuously since 1980, which, perhaps not so coincidentally, marks the earliest days of the credit bubble the economy is now having serious trouble digesting.

Sometime, a very wise woman told me one time that if women remember the pain and suffering of childbirth every family would only have one child. She also likened this to hard times in society. Once the mother holds her precious baby in her arms everything she just endured is immediately washed away by love. When we as a society endure the pains of hard and perilous times, then we begin to taste the good life, we too quickly dismiss the pain and disdain we earlier felt. Therefore, history repeats itself over and over and over. Yes, we may modify our behavior to slightly alter the outcomes. Yet, the majority of our actions/decisions are repeatedly repeated. One would think the people would wake up and smell the coffee.

Bad example Ana, Bad example! Life, like sex has responsibilities and consequences. I am afraid I did not live up to life's responsibilities. Too much NASCAR, Ophra, whose on first, who ran what yards and what touch down and not enough looking after my government. And I don't have what it takes to communicate with my fellow citizens that something is bad wrong.
Their attitude is: "Mistakes were made but, not by me"!

I agree with you! Perhaps I too have difficulty articulating my thoughts. I believe that we have become complacent in the good times and allowed the thieves to steal and foster corruption as we sat idly by and watched.
How does one return the pendulum to the proper sway?

I honestly don't know. I think (God) must do it. I question humankind's concept of God. I wonder about my own understanding of him. I do know that I do not understand completely. I believe God did not go to all the trouble with this world that he has, for nothing. [God did not form the world in vain].
Yes we are too complacent. The spirit of God needs to be poured out till righteousness rolls down like the waters of a mighty stream.

I think that would be great and a blessing to many. However, it is written that this world will wax worse and worse. The book of Revelation portrays how things were, are and will be. God's purpose will be revealed to us farther along. It is not ours to question why. We must trust and walk by faith.
I know that idea is not popular with many.
