to argue that the deregulation of banking and mortgages--and the lack of even a central clearing house for derivatives trading, such that not only are there almost not regulations, but there isn't even a minimal transparency that would enable anyone--including a potential regulatory institution--to know what the fuck is going on within that trade---have no connection to the present crisis is like arguing that the world is flat because if you look straight ahead you don't see a curve.
