i take some personal responsibility for the current financial crisis because on october 8, 1980 at approximately 3:15 pm i decided to walk instead of take the subway home. when i turned away from park street station in boston and started walking across the commons, everything changed. we are all still dealing with the implications of that moment.
another thing that contributed to the present financial crisis was the spanish-american war, which was among the first explicitly fake american wars and so began the accumulation of negative karma.
but if you think about it, the entire history of capitalism contributed to the present financial crisis as well. i blame the spinning jenny.
o and adam. well, maybe not so much him, but cain...definitely. he was a Problem.
