Go Keebler, go Keebler, go Keebler Elf! I love Kucinich and his passionate, delusional optimism as he goes tilting at windmills while never getting discouraged.

Unfortunately he never gets much done in the literal sense, but let's all take a moment and give thaks for the fact that he is. And just by being he gives those of us who have given up all hope of any functional, reasonable accoutability in a government for and by the people, an opportunity to smile... and then frown because we realize we have lost the ability to care.

I love Dennis Kucinich ,every so often I go on his website and send him a little letter of support, I think he's one of the few people on the planet who really gives a damn. That's what giving a damn means you don't stop ,you can't because of the whole giving a damn thing.

If I had to isolate the one thing that perpetuates the current state of corruption ,I guess it would be what you said ,NOT giving a damn. So in the vacuum created by peoples self absorption,viola greed and corruption flourish.Which is cool 'cause nobody really gives a damn except Dennis

he's the bravest man ever,It takes guts to do what he does,I hope there are rewards in some kind of wonderful afterlife for souls like him

there sure aren't any in this one

i don't how many more toxic products will be originated....the finance sector has lost the TRUST that many of the naive (buyers) gave it......the funniest/dumbest phrase i hear parroted by the MSM cheerleaders is ..................."when " " (insert lending, "the economy"/whatever) condtions become normal again.

lending conditions were not normal in 2003-2007 there will not be times like this for a long time (not year's)

the investment banks business model is broken (i.e securitization)

the economy is not gong to be bouncing anywhere anytime soon

the economy has become more dependant on finance and debt creation

until middle class debt is reduced (i.e loans re-written, or union's re-strengthen and wages go up up and away) the economy won't return to "normal" don't hold your breath

people will take a while to get it.........but i assume as the years pass........the hope will fade away........and reality will sink in that the united states just lowered it's standard of living PERMANENTLY , sure there will be a wealthy elite, but the middle class are not bouncing back, even some upper will be taken down into the lower class as banks are not going to be lending much, millions of jobs will be lose over the coming years.

from an individual perspective (opposed to the Per capita in u.s.a) things are alot more optomistic because certain opporunity's will still be there (usually depending on who you know/ the brake's you get) but they will be fewer and more distance between IMO.

I think the winning attitude going forward is to become less materialistic in your goals/ and perception of your success, and put more energy into relationships and active hobby's for enjoyment while obviously making sure you have a job to pay the bills.
