Ban Wall Street?

I don’t think it’s a joke. Betting long; betting short; what’s the difference? It’s still betting. Sometimes you win; sometimes you lose. The smartest players among us understand risk management; dollar cost averaging, diversification. Sure bets are only apparent in hindsight. There are too many factors to consider.

The real issue is ‘winning’ – or the flipside: ‘losing’. Should we now ban Wall Street; risk; speculation? Should we now ban profit; value – capitalism in general? Should we ban elections?

The biggest fraud ever perpetuated on the American people has been the election of Barack Hussein Obama. Should we now hold hearings? Or should we just accept that we rolled the dice and lost? Should we let it play out? Or should we huff and puff; and point the finger of blame; scrunch up our faces and hold innocents responsible for having followed a hunch; berate them with foul language and rhetorical flourish?

Have we lost the capacity to appreciate the pratfall? Should we deny ourselves the ecstatic release of guffaw - the freedom to bleed? Or will we allow ourselves to be wheeled around on rubber-tipped, stainless steel gurneys through endlessly gleaming hospital corridors and on to our liberally padded storage cubes?
