so what you're saying, ace, is that you have no idea which of the various wall street folk who diverted bush administration no-strings-attached bailout monies into personal bonuses wear white hats and which black hats--what you're saying is that some pollyanna faith in the world of financial flows is what is required, even now after their own actions have ground the entire economy to the brink of a significant debacle, which in turn you deal with by pretending it's not there. what you're saying is that stating the obvious--that diverting this bush administration no-strings-attached bailout money into bonuses---was an ill-timed and ill-considered bit of theater is going too far. what you're saying is that we should join you in silent worship of the captains of the financial industry, even now.
that's goofy.
